Parallax visions

by Bruce Cumings

"In a work that synthesizes crucial developments in international relations at the close of the twentieth century, Bruce Cumings - provides a nuanced understanding of how the United States has loomed over the modern history and culture of East Asia. By offering correctives to widely held yet largely inaccurate assessments of the affairs of this region, Parallax Visions shows how relations between the United States, Japan, Vietnam, North and South Korea, China, and Taiwan have been structured by their perceptions and misperceptions of each other."--BOOK JACKET.
