Ten Years In Japan: A Contemporary Record Drawn From The Diaries and Private and Official Papers of Joseph C. Grew, United States Ambassador to Japan 1932-1942 By Joseph C. Grew Simon and SchusterNew York 1944 Simon and Schuster discuss in the colophon “About the Appearance of Books in Wartime” relating to a ruling by the War Production Board curtailing the use of paper by book publishers in 1944. Thus Simon and Schuster have abided by that ruling by using lighter weight paper, printing books with smaller margins and more words per page. “Slimmer and smaller books will save paper and plate metal and labor” as a “desire to co-operate as fully as possible with the objectives of the War Production Board and our government.” Actually, overall the pages of this copy are (as described below) in Near Fine condition. Former owner’s signature on the front free endpaper. xii, 554 p.: Frontispiece and 12 unpaginated pages, containing 24 illustrations; 21.5 cm. (8.5 inches).

Includes List of Prominent Japanese Officials, and Foreign Diplomatic Chiefs of Mission Accredited to Japan and Index. First Edition , Second Printing “America’s Ambassador to Tokyo for the ten years before Pearl Harbor tells the full story of how and why our country went to war with Japan. He draws that story from three firsthand sources: his own day-to-day diaries, his personal and official correspondence, and his dispatches to the State Department. From this huge mass of material, he has woven together a chronological narrative of history in the making” [from the dust jacket].
