Ten Years in Japan

A Contemporary Record Drawn from the Diaries and Private and Official Papers of Joseph C. Grew, United States Ambassador to Japan, 1932-1942

By: Joseph C. Grew

America’s Ambassador to Tokyo for the ten years before Pearl Harbor tells the full story of how and why America went to war with Japan. He draws that story from three first-hand sources: his own day-to-day diaries, his personal and official correspondence, and his dispatches to the State Department. From this huge mass of material, he has woven together a chronological narrative of history in the making. President Hoover sent Ambassador Grew to Japan in 1932 because he needed the best diplomat we had to save a desperate situation. The Japanese militarists had already seized Manchuria. They had assassinated half a dozen outstanding moderate statesmen. They were preparing to quit the League, scrap Washington Treaties, and dominate Asia and the Far Pacific. Ambassador Grew’s mission had two purposes. One was to uphold American rights in the Far East. The other was to avoid war. The attitude of the Japanese made it impossible for the U.S. to pursue both these policies indefinitely, but Ambassador Grew’s diplomacy postponed the showdown, preserved the peace, and upheld America’s national honor. Ten Year in Japan tells for the first time the full, inside story of the decade of conflict, intrigue, and surprise that culminated in the inevitable tragedy of war.

Ten Years in Japan

By: Joseph C. Grew

Ten Years in Japan is a fascinating and unique look inside the government of Japan before and during the attack on Pearl Harbour. Written from the detailed personal diaries of Joseph C. Grew the American ambassador based in Tokyo from 1932 and up until war was declared in the beginning of 1942. This book deals, as is right and proper, primarily with American-Japanese relations. But for British readers it has a special interest because it covers a period during which British and American policies in the Orient followed parallel lines; a period when the two Governments were grappling with problems always similar and sometimes identical. The interest is not lessened by the peeps that we get of what were, in fact, unremitting efforts on the part of the Japanese to sow discord between Britain and America on the principle of 'divide et impera.

The Science of Linguistics in the Art of Translation

Some Tools from Linguistics for the Analysis and Practice of Translation

By: Joseph L. Malone

Drawing from more than two hundred examples representing twenty-two languages of wide genetic and typological variety, the author guides the reader through a broad collection of situations encountered in the analysis and practice of translation. This enterprise gains structure and rigor from the methods and findings of contemporary linguistic theory, while realism and relevance are served by the choice of "naturalistic" examples from published translations. Coverage draws from a variety of genres and text-types (literary works, the Bible, newspaper articles, legal and philosophical writings, for examples), and addresses a thorough selection of structural-functional aspects. These range from discrepancies between source and target languages in sentence construction, to dfiferences between source and target poetic traditions with respect to meter and rhyme.
