To Have and Have Not - Jonathan Marshall - Bog

"An outstanding contribution to understanding the road to World War II in the Far East. . . . An excellent historical narrative, with enough interesting detail to move even the strongest skeptic."--Laurence H. Shoup, author of The Carter Presidency and Beyond "Jonathan Marshall deftly argues that the decisive turn in U.S. policy toward war with Japan came because Japan pressed upon raw materials vital to America. . . . This work will be the definitive study of materials policy and the coming of the war."--Bruce Cumings, Northwestern University "Marshall moves the oil and mineral resources of Southeast Asia to the center stage. . . . Both specialists and general readers will be very interested in the book's argument."--Leonard Liggio, George Mason University
