Book Synopsis The Opening of Japan, 1853-1855 by : William McOmie
Book excerpt: The continued appearance of the American and Russion squadrons in 1853 and 1854 left Japan no option but to accept the new reality of Western naval might, and agree to the opening of a few of its ports. This book pieces together a picture of the competition and cooperation, distrust and open hostility that marked the joint Western enterprise.
