Pearl Harbor & the Coming of the Pacific War 1999 Akira Iriye HC POOR CONDITION

Bedford/St. Martin's, 1999. Hardcover with dust jacket of Pearl Harbor and the Coming of the Pacific War: A Brief History with Documents and Essays by Akira Iriye.

Assembling more than 30 primary documents -- including proposals, memoranda, decrypted messages, and imperial conferences -- Iriye presents diplomatic exchanges from both American and Japanese perspectives to determine how and why the United States and Japan went to war in 1941.

POOR CONDITION. There is a crack in the binding in the Preface section. The binding holds together but the book opens and closes weirdly. Useful only as a complete reading copy.
