description: "Joseph Clark Grew was an American career diplomat and Foreign Service officer. He is best known for his long tenure as United States Ambassador to Japan (1932–1941) in the lead-up to Pearl Harbor and for his two stints as the second-in-command at the State Department. He opposed American hardliners and sought to avoid war. When the war ended, he helped draft the U.S. Initial Post-Surrender Policy for Japan, which offered relatively generous terms to the defeated Japanese, which facilitated America's peaceful post-war occupation of Japan."
