Abstract
Two recent books frame the current dangerous state of the U.S.-Japan relationship. The Enigma of Japanese Power, Karel van Wolferen''s acidic analysis of the whole of Japanese society, concludes that no one is really in charge and the country is incapable of change. The Japan That Can Say "No" by Sony''s Akio Morita and right-wing politician Shintaro Ishihara, argues that the United States must change its practices and, in a harsher tone, that Japan should play power politics with the United States by flirting with the Soviet Union. The two books are symptomatic of Japan''s new arrogance and the new U.S. uncertainty.
