"This book examines US-influenced initiatives to improve library services during the
Allied Occupation of post-surrender Japan and looks at history of funding libraries
abroad as a tool of cultural diplomacy, the development of free public libraries as
a progressive political agenda in California, and an explanation of why in Japan library
services were relatively backward despite exceptionally high literacy and very well-developed
publishing industry and retail book trade"
