Foreign Relations of the United States, 1964-1968, V. 29, Pt. 2: Japan

This volume is part of a sub series of volumes of the Foreign Relations series that documents the most important issues in the foreign policy of the 5 years (1964–1968) of the administration of Lyndon B. Johnson. The editors of the volume sought to include documentation illuminating the foreign policymaking process of the U.S. Government, with emphasis on the highest level at which policy on a particular subject was determined. The documents include memoranda and records of discussions that set forth policy issues and show decisions or actions taken as well as key recommendations and analysis from the Embassy in Japan. The emphasis is on the development of U.S. policy and on major aspects and repercussions of its execution rather than on the details of policy execution.

Students researching historical U.S. foreign relations for political science classes coursework assignments or the history of America’s foreign economic/democratic/human rights policies may be interested in the insights and topics covered in this volume. Political scientists and historians with interests in United States foreign policies and foreign relations will also be interested in this work.
