<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>Throughout twenty-seven years of military occupation, US public affairs activities aimed to persuade the local Okinawan public that the US administration of Okinawa should be maintained. The US maintains military bases around the globe while advocating democratic ideals, including freedom of the press. Yet, while declaring the occupation of Okinawa necessary for the defence of democracy, the US military administration vigorously repressed freedoms of speech, assembly, the media, and self-determination. This landmark study explores and uncovers the labyrinthine manipulations and mechanisms established to continue to defend the hard deployment of military forces through the soft power techniques of public relations.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p><strong>This research, first published in Japanese, received the 43rd Iha Fuyu Okinawa Study Award.</strong></p><br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><b>Hideko Yoshimoto</b> is a Professor in the Faculty of International Studies at Yamaguchi Prefectural University.
