Description
The last peace talks fill the 1941 Far East volume. Chapters run from January to December 7. Spring hopes rise with a draft understanding. Summer brings Japan's move into southern Indochina. Autumn hardens both sides' terms in the record. The final chapter ticks to the attack itself. Cooperation after that day follows in files. Russia stays neutral in the Pacific by choice. Sanctions sharpen into a freeze of Japan's assets. Tokyo's Axis and Russian ties close the contents.
A mid-volume reflection weighs a summit's risk. A failed meeting, it argues, equals failed talks. Either failure poisons relations the same way. That logic shadowed the Konoye proposal's fate. The volume is a countdown in six chapters. Its end is known from its first page. Readers watch each exit close.
