This biography casts new light on the life and career of Admiral Nomura Kichisaburō. Connecting his experiences as a naval officer to his service as foreign minister and ambassador, Mauch reassesses Nomura's contributions as a hard-nosed realist whose grasp of the underlying realities of Japanese-U.S. relations went largely unappreciated.
