and index
"The first-ever attempt to paint a full scale portrait of the Japanese Occupation
of Southeast Asia during the Asia-Pacific War (1942-1945). This book draws on the
huge body of available narrative--military documents, bureaucratic records and personal
accounts of combatants and civilians, including diaries, memoirs and collected correspondence--most
of which have previously been either unknown or unavailable to non-Japanese readers.
It examines how the Japanese imperial adventure in Southeast Asia sped up the collapse
of the Japanese empire as a whole, not only through its ultimate military defeat in
the region, but also due to its failure as an occupier from the very beginning. Nakano
explains the significance of the Japanese Occupation of Southeast Asia as a learning
experience for the occupiers, whether soldiers on the frontlines or civilians on the
home front. He uses a synthesis, overlay and juxtaposition of a selection of these
narratives, to reassemble the narrative as a whole. This brings into focus the outlook
of those Japanese who set out for Southeast Asia with the purpose to urge the region's
occupied people to collaborate with Japan to transform the region into an integral
part of the Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity Sphere. Many would eventually discover
that what required change was Japan and its whole approach to colonial rule, as was
realized so quickly in the postwar era"
