2 Kurihara's large measure of personal responsibility for the drafting of this summary is attested to by the fact that he has since published the substance of it under his own name in the two-part article entitled, “Shūsen gaikō-shi gaikan” (Survey of the diplomatic history of the ending of the war), in Shimmin , 4.8 (Aug. 1953), 22–34, and 4.9 (Sept. 1953), 28–38. On the other hand, it should be noted that the work of compiling the Shū en shiroku was guided by a group of some 15 officials, wither nowor formerly associated with various agencies of the Government, particularly the Foreign Ministry, and that the argument and most of the actual text of the interpretative summary have since been incorporated in Chapter IX of another volume edited for the Ministry by Kurihara, Shinsei Nihon gaikō hyakunen-shi (Centennial History of the diplomacy of the New Japan) (Tokyo: Nichibei tsūshin-sha, 1953)Google Scholar.
