Summary
I must thank the International Christian University for kind assistance over the past decade. Despite bewilderment that a student of diplomatic history could so obviously belie his job description, my colleagues have displayed both unwarranted good will and rare tolerance. My appreciation of them and of the support from Ms Marigold Acland and her team at CUP Melbourne is exceeded only by my thanks to Emeritus Professors Ian Nish and Hosoya Chihiro, the doyens of international history in Britain and Japan respectively. Their scholarship and friendship has kept me from wandering too far and too frequently from the straight and narrow. I am well aware that this text does not approach their own high academic standards.
