Anti-Japanese War Scare Stories (1917)

Anti-Japanese War Scare Stories is a book written by Sidney Lewis Gulick in 1917. The book is a collection of stories and articles that were published in various American newspapers during the early 1900s. The stories focus on the perceived threat of Japan to the United States and the fear that the two countries would go to war. The book is divided into three parts. The first part contains stories that were published during the Russo-Japanese War (1904-1905) and the aftermath of the war. The second part contains stories that were published during the California Alien Land Law controversy of 1913-1914. The third part contains stories that were published during the lead up to World War I.The stories in the book are written from a variety of perspectives, including politicians, journalists, and ordinary citizens. They cover topics such as the Japanese military, Japanese immigration to the United States, and the role of Japan in world politics. Gulick's purpose in compiling these stories was to show the irrationality and danger of anti-Japanese sentiment in the United States. He argues that the fear of Japan was based on racist and xenophobic beliefs rather than any real threat to national security. Overall, Anti-Japanese War Scare Stories is an important historical document that sheds light on the attitudes and fears of Americans towards Japan during the early 1900s. It is a valuable resource for historians, scholars, and anyone interested in the history of American-Japanese relations.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
