Description

First published in 1991. This book attempts to clarify the psychology and status of the Japanese people during the period from 1931, when Japan's military expansion started, to 1945, when Japan experienced a catastrophic defeat in the Pacific War. This period is one of the most turbulent in the nation's history: it saw the rise of fascism and militarism which led to confrontation and conflict with countries which stood for democracy, liberty and freedom.
