Neighbors Across the Pacific

"Professor Pringsheim has provided a much needed work covering the postwar relations between Canada and Japan. We have had nothing as comprehensive since Henry Angus' Canada and the Far East 1940-1953 written over 30 years ago. The new book is written to celebrate the first 50 years of Canada's formal relations with Japan from the perspective of the diplomats involved since 1929. ... The work is unique in being based to a considerable extent on interviews with former ambassadors and ministers, including Prime Ministers Diefenbaker and Tanaka. There is also an account of the principal international events to put Canada-Japan relations into proper perspective. As an indispensable reference to anyone with serious interest in [Canada's] ties with Japan, it is without peer."-Canadian Journal of Political Science
