  • The American Occupation of Japan: The Origins of the Cold War in Asia

    Michael SchallerDATASETThe SHAFR Guide Online2017

    South Koreans tailor American ideas about economic development and democracy. This ambitious and innovative study examines American nation building in South Korea during the Cold War.

He contends that a distinct…

  • Conflicting Currents: Japan and the United States in the Pacific

    Michael SchallerDATASETThe SHAFR Guide Online2017

    The subjects covered in this collection will appeal to a range of scholars, specialists, and general readers. The contributions of the Japanese scholars will not go unnoticed either for they draw on many primary sources in Japan that have yet to be translated into English and therefore offer a unique perspective on the events and individuals discussed in the essays. By focusing on both the US and Japan, this work provides easy access to the compe…

  • The Ongoing Mystery of Ronald Reagan

    Michael SchallerARTICLEDiplomatic History2010

    Twenty years ago, when Saturday Night Live's political satire had bite (OK, Tina Fey's Sarah Pallin impersonation revived some of the old spark), the ensemble performed a marvelous skit about President Ronald Reagan. The seemingly doddering old fool is holding forth on some topic or other in the Oval Office, boring his advisers who, one by one, fall asleep. Once they are out cold, he grabs the telephone on his desk and begins speaking several lan…

    Michael SchallerARTICLEDiplomatic History2004

    Book reviewed: William Stueck. Rethinking the Korean War: A New Diplomatic and Strategic History. Those of us who teach courses on various aspects of post-1945 military and diplomatic history, especially courses centered on East Asia, have long puzzled over a question: Why is it so simple to assign an excellent synthetic textbook on the Vietnam War, but not on the Korean War? For example, when teaching undergraduates about Vietnam, an instructor …

    Michael SchallerARTICLEJournal of American History2002

    “Custer,” we learn from the gritty sergeant-major Plumley, Col. Harold G. Moore's tough-as-nails sidekick, “was a pussy.” That is not the only allusion, verbal or visual, to the cavalry versus the Indians during this cinematic treatment of the war memoir written by Moore and the journalist Joseph L. Galloway about the bloody battle fought in November 1965 in the Ia Drang Valley in Vietnam's central highlands. There, in the first days of a months-…

    Michael SchallerARTICLEJournal of American-East Asian…2001

    124 The Journal of American–East Asian Relations on the place of the Nanjing Massacre in Japanese and Chinese history/histori- ography is outstanding.

  • Altered States: The United States And Japan Since The Occupation

    Michael SchallerBOOKAltered states1997

    The relationship between the United States and Japan is torn by contrary impulses. We face each other across the Pacific as friends and allies, as the two most powerful economies in the world--and as suspicious rivals. Americans admire the industry of the Japanese, but we resent the huge trade deficit that has developed between us, due to what we consider to be unfair trade practices and "unlevel playing fields." Now, in Altered States, historian…
