Winner of the Pulitzer Prize

"A startling work -- awesomely ambitious, faultlessly researched, daring in its thesis, and profound in its implications." -- Business Week

"Magnificent. . . . everything a political biography should be." -- Richmond Times-Dispatch

This rich and powerful biography is now given fresh relevance with a new introduction by the author that explores how Hirohito's legacy persists in Japan to this day, and how US foreign policy in the region in the last ten years is informed by our troubled past with Japan and with Hirohito as a ruler specifically.

Trained since childhood to lead his nation as a living deity, Japan's Emperor Hirohito cultivated the image of a reluctant, detached monarch, a fa ade which masked a fierce cunning and powerful ambition. Historian Herbert P. Bix has unearned hundreds of previously untapped documents including the unpublished letters and diaries of Hirohito's royal court, tracing the key events of his sixty-three-year reign (1926 - 1989), and shedding light on his uniquely active yet self-effacing stewardship. Debunking the common image of Hirohito as a pawn in the hands of the military, Bix exposes the emperor's personal involvement in every stage of the Pacific War. With rare insight, he shows how Hirohito avoided punishment for his nation's defeat and how the Japanese people have struggled to come to terms with this dark chapter in their history.

Описание: Inspired by Jack London's 1908 novella of socialist revolution and the Gilded Age, it's Sunset Boulevard meets The Matrix in The Iron Heel. From the death of capitalism to the birth of full-sensory entertainment, from climate collapse to the flowering of the socialist project, The Iron Heel is a sophisticated, cautionary tale wrapped in a taut action-adventure.In this noir, science-fiction drama set 700 years in the future, Anthony Meredith--lovelorn, burnt-out, cynical--finds his life upended when rebel Malcontents steal an encoded document containing secrets that threaten to bring down the existing world order, a 400 year old socialist project--the Brotherhood of man--now decadent and rotten at the core.Meredith operates an esoteric machine that creates three-dimensional, full-sensory, interactive story constructs. While navigating these, Meredith's experience is captured in a report used as the starting point for making virtual-reality, movie-like experiences known as "verties". Verties keep the masses entertained and distracted from realities both past and present.Meredith is drawn into the rebellion when the Malcontents sink a barge at an election party packed with the elite and privileged. After a narrow escape, he's taken to an underground city where neo-capitalism reigns and where the rich and powerful live in luxury by exploiting the world's remaining resources. Things get worse when Meredith's mentor is taken hostage; but just when all seems lost, surprising allies give the rebels an upper hand. Meredith exposes the secrets contained in the document, and creates a shattering report sure to ignite worldwide revolution.Under a hail of bullets, Meredith and the rebels escape aboard a high-speed train bound for a workers' paradise and a broadcast center where the report can be transmitted to the world. With opposing forces both ahead and behind, The Iron Heel races toward an unforgettable and unsettling ending.

Описание: Presents a bold and persuasive attack on the delusion that the law is a bastion of predictable and logical action. This controversial thesis is that the decisions made by judge and jury are determined to an enormous extent by powerful, concealed, and highly idiosyncratic psychological prejudices that these decision-makers bring to the courtroom.

Описание: From the acclaimed Eisner Award-nominated creator of Two Generals and Northwest Passage comes a gorgeous and spare illustrated exploration of the rapid rise and tragic fall of 1920s legendary jazz soloist Leon "Bix" Beiderbecke.

Told in stunning illustrations, Bix is a near-wordless graphic exploration highlighting the career of Leon Bix Beiderbecke, one of the most innovative jazz soloists of the 1920s next to the legendary Louis Armstrong. While composing and recording some of the landmark music in the early history of genre, Bix struggled with personal demons, facing the disapproval of his conservative parents and an increasing dependence on alcohol. Presented in predominantly silent panels to reflect his rebellious outsider quality and inability to communicate in anything other than his own musical terms, Bix tells the story of a music star's rapid rise and tragic fall--a metaphor for the glories and risks inherent in the creative life.
