McOmie, William.

The Opening of Japan, 1853-55 A Comparative Study of the American, British and Russian

Global Oriental Ltd Folkestone. 2006 Black and white illustrations, xxii + 505pp, bibliography, index, dustjacket. 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.
