Shear (national affairs, The National Journal) chronicles how the US has aided Japan's ambitions to dominate the aerospace and aviations products industry, America's most lucrative exports, and has provided the infrastructure for Japan's production of the FS-X fighter plane. Shear, drawing on official documents and interviews with top government officials, reveals the arrogant self-interest that surrounded the FS-X project on both sides of the Pacific and pinpoints the continuing ramifications of this crisis.
