by Yukio Okamoto (Author), Richard L. Armitage (Foreword by), Joseph S. Nye (Foreword by)
"Okamoto-san was an invaluable diplomatic advisor who provided essential knowledge for our foreign visits and meetings with heads of state during my term as Prime Minister of Japan." -- Junichiro Koizumi, former Prime Minister of Japan.
"Yukio's inclination to take action, his generosity and openheartedness were exceptional. [...] This book presents his admirable perspective and I will remember him forever." --David Petraeus, former CIA Director As one of Japan's most distinguished and gifted diplomats of his generation, Yukio Okamoto navigated the corridors of political power at the highest levels. In Japan and the United States, Okamoto recounts the compelling story of his diplomatic service and his role as a steadfast advocate for strong Japan-United States relations during an era of political crises, war, and fierce economic competition. During his 20-year career in the Japanese Foreign Ministry and after he left government, Okamoto was an indispensable advisor to several Japanese prime ministers including Ryutaro Hashimoto, Junichiro Koizumi and Shinzo Abe. He worked tirelessly to strengthen relations with the United States and the survival of this alliance is due in no small part to Okamoto's influence. This book features contributions from former Deputy Secretary of State Richard Armitage and former Assistant Secretary of Defense Joseph S. Nye, who both worked with Okamoto and share their thoughts on his life, career, and legacy as an influential friend of the United States.Author Biography
