From the end of the war in Japan to the trade wars around the world, My Enemy, My Friend, tells the story of the love/ hate relationship that has existed between Japan and the U.S. for the last fifty years. Starting with the last days of World War II, My Enemy, My Friend, brings to startling reality the brutality and finality of the vicious air war over Japan that led to the dropping of the atom bomb, and to the abject surrender of Imperial Japan. It shows the dramatic rise of Japan from the ashes of destruction, bringing to life the country’s agonizing climb from poverty to wealth. Readers witness the friendship and love that grows between two formerly bitter enemies as romance blooms between their children as they are confronted with age-old prejudices.
