1966ref. 12698New York: Atheneum 1966. First Atheneum Edition . Trade Paperback. Very Good. 5" x 8. 553 Pages Indexed. The purpose of this book is to explain the manner in which the strategy of modern war has developed in the conviction that a knowledge of the best military thought will enable readers to comprehend the causes of war and the fundamental principles which govern its conduct. The editors believe that eternal vigilance in such matters is the price of liberty and if there is to be a durable peace there must be a clear understanding of the role which armed force plays in international society. In chapter 2 is shown that the greatest military historians of our time have felt a need to apologize for their interest in military problems because dislike for war and ignorance concerning its role in human affairs have led peaceful peoples everywhere to deprecate its significance in history and ignore its portentous meaning for our future. For it is not force in itself which is wrong but the purposes to which force is sometimes put. As Pascal said almost three centuries ago we must realize that: Justice without force is impotent. Force without justice tyrannical. The American nation is the foremost military power of modern times. The manner in which we use this great power is momentous for ourselves and for the world.

A lavishly illustrated study in both colour and black and white. 'Nihonga: Transcending the Past' is a valuable addition to the literature on Japanese arts. 'Nihonga' is a very broad field and this book its essays and illustrations demonstrates very well the breadth of that artistic field. Especially from looking at the illustrations I now have a better understanding of how Nihonga painting relates to contemporaneous post-Ukiyo-e printmaking in Japan. The accompanying scholarly essays by Ellen P Conant and others are excellent. The charting of the complicated relationships between Western and Japanese modernism at the institutional levels as well as in terms of individual artists is very revealing. The complexity of the 'mutual interference' of Western and Japanese cultural and associated political and economic interests is made very clear. Weatherhill & The Saint Louis Art Museum, hardcover
