<P>In 1853, the security of a Japan closed off from the outside world was shattered by the arrival of four American naval vessels sailing under the command of Commodore Matthew Calbraith Perry. The fleet's commander, a 40-year veteran of U.S. naval service, had commanded American fleets from the Mediterranean to Africa to the Gulf of Mexico. Now, he had arrived in Japanese waters with orders to negotiate a trade treaty with Japan, an insular, medieval state ruled by an emperor and a shogun, with order maintained by well-disciplined swordsmen called samurai. If the Americans succeeded in their goal, more than 250 years of Japanese isolation would end. Illustrated with full-color and black-and-white photographs, and accompanied by a chronology, bibliography, and further resources, this book provides a clear and comprehensive account of this intriguing period in U.S.-Japanese relations. Historical spotlights and excerpts from primary source documents are also included.</P>
