The new book offers meticulously researched insights from a variety of Japanese writers that voiced the anxieties of a nation headed toward a war that would eventually be fought against the United States.

Perry first sailed into Tokyo Bay with his fleet of so-called \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Black Ships\u00e2\u20ac\u009d in 1853 and demanded Japan open itself to the West, Japanese novelists and military analysts, along with select foreign counterparts, wrote extensively of the coming conflict, creating a massive body of works through which Japan would debate its passage into the modern global era.
