Faubion Bowers was General MacArthur's secretary during the American Occupation of Japan. His command of the Japanese language allowed him to be in the advanced landing party after the surrender of Japan in World War II. He was interviewed for Columbia University's Oral History Project in 1960.

Bowers became a respected authority on oriental art and culture, writing scholarly monographs on such subjects as Indian dance and Japanese theatre, as well as a definitive two-volume biography of the Russian composer Alexander Scriabin.
