According to Swenson-Wright (modern Japanese studies, Cambridge U., UK), it is almost a truism among scholars of the bilateral relationship between the US and Japan emerging after WWII that the US was willing to discount legitimate Japanese national aspirations and inclined to take the relationship for granted. Looking at the policy making process in the United States and the diplomatic relationship between government officials of both countries from 1945 to 1960, he offers a reassessment of that judgment that rests upon analyzing the extent to which issues of equality and mutuality, including their psychological and emotive aspects, shaped American policy. Over the course of the book, he discusses the debate over Japanese rearmament at the time of the Korean War, Eisenhower's handling of the issue of Okinawa and the Ryukyu and Ogasawara islands, the Lucky Dragon crisis of 1954 (an incident that revolved around US hydrogen bomb tests in the Pacific), and the debate over the renegotiation of the Security Treaty during the 1950s.
