Drawing on a vast range of Japanese sources and illustrated with dozens of astonishing documentary photographs, Embracing Defeat is the fullest and most important history of the more than six years of American occupation, which affected every level of Japanese society, often in ways neither side could anticipate. Dower, whom Stephen E. Ambrose has called "America's foremost historian of the Second World War in the Pacific," gives us the rich and turbulent interplay between West and East, the victor and the vanquished, in a way never before attempted, from top-level manipulations concerning the fate of Emperor Hirohito to the hopes and fears of men and women in every walk of life. Already regarded as the benchmark in its field, Embracing Defeat is a work of colossal scholarship and history of the very first order. John W. Dower is the Elting E. Morison Professor of History at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. He is a winner of the National Book Critics Circle Award for War Without Mercy.Binding Type: Hardcover

Great but not indestructible
Color: KING KONG
Great product but it is not indestructible for my aggressive chewer. This is the second time I have purchased because he loves it so much and it keeps him occupied for hours.

My puppy LOVES it!
Color: KING KONG
This is the best thing! My 5 month old golden retriever lives his "King Kong". She chews on this for at least 10-15 minutes at a time. Loved it. And it doesn't show any wear at all. It's HEAVY so Mom watch out for toes when they drop it😁

They love these. For tough chewers and fun
Color: KING KONG
The dogs love this. I have Pitbulls and a Cattle dog/Basset mix. It gets a lot of use.
If you've had BENEBONES. these will be a little different. They're a different material. But work the same. My dogs go after both these and the Benebones.
If you're wondering, these DO produce little sharp pieces of plastic material.
Always monitor your dogs.

Fun design, dog loved it but keeps getting teeth stuck so had to toss it out.
Color: KING KONG
My dog likes this and I thought it was a great option. It's a fun character design. We ran into a problem though - she keeps getting her lower jaw/teeth stuck between the two arms of the ape. The distance between the fists is just wide enough to allow her teeth through it, but narrow enough that they get stuck and then she starts yelping until she figures out how to free her lower jaw. The first time, I thought it was a fluke. The second time, I took it away and tossed it. Maybe a future design could give more space between the fists.
