Note(s) : Notes bibliogr.
This pathbreaking work of oral history captures for the first time ever - in either
Japanese or English - the remarkable story of ordinary Japanese people during World
War II. In a sweeping panorama, Haruko Taya and Theodore Cook take us from the Japanese
attacks on China in the 1930s to the Japanese homefront during the inhuman raids on
Tokyo, Hiroshima, and Nagasaki, offering the first glimpses of how this century's
most violent conflict affected the lives of the Japanese population. Japan at War
documents a huge range of experiences, from long-ago memories of being taught to play
at soldiering in school to personal accounts of carrying out horrendous medical experiments
and ruthless massacres. Here are the soldiers and sailors caught in the jungles of
New Guinea and on the seas around the Philippines. Here, too, are proud builders of
the Burma railway, and unrepentant generals, as well as conscripts whose political
or intellectual training made them unwilling participants in the horrors wrought by
their country. Japanese newspapermen, filmmakers, artists, cabaret dancers, and diplomats
speak candidly about their wartime experiences, adding a whole new dimension to the
now-famous symbols of kamikaze pilots and human torpedoes. As they crisscrossed Japan
seeking out survivors of a war that cost that country over 3 million lives, the authors
encountered every form of human response: those who held to their principles and those
who gave in to opportunism, those who controlled events as well as the many - including
women and children - who were caught up in the horrific whirlpool. No book to date
has captured the complex range of Japanese experiences and emotions as does Japan
at War. This is a monumental work of history - one to which Americans and Japanese
will turn for decades to come
