{"product_id":"9781107461390","title":"World War I and the Triumph of a New Japan, 1919-1930","description":"Frederick R. Dickinson illuminates a new, integrative history of interwar Japan that highlights the transformative effects of the Great War far from the Western Front. World War I and the Triumph of a New Japan, 1919–1930 reveals how Japan embarked upon a decade of national reconstruction following the Paris Peace Conference, rivalling the monumental rebuilding efforts in post-Versailles Europe. Taking World War I as his anchor, Dickinson examines the structural foundations of a new Japan, discussing the country's wholehearted participation in new post-war projects of democracy, internationalism, disarmament and peace. Dickinson proposes that Japan's renewed drive for military expansion in the 1930s marked less a failure of Japan's interwar culture than the start of a tumultuous domestic debate over the most desirable shape of Japan's twentieth-century world. This stimulating study will engage students and researchers alike, offering a unique, global perspective of interwar Japan.","brand":"Cambridge University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47133712646384,"sku":"9781107461390","price":24.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781107461390_p0.jpg?v=1763690901","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781107461390","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
