I seem to recall James Fallows' Looking at the Sun (DS504.5.F35 in your library) elucidating quite well the situations in the southeast Asian countries as of the early 90's, including the post-war government in Japan.. the idealistic adoption of democracy by MacArthur.. then the fear of Communism. Might be worth re-reading now that the ghost of that occupation has been reinvoked.
