The Japanese are the only people in the world who have experienced
the horror of nuclear weapons with their own flesh. Atomic
holocaust was followed by American occupation and the
American-inspired, postwar Japanese 'Peace Constitution' which
explicitly outlawed Japanese military forces and the use of war as
an instrument of state policy. At the time of original publication
the author argued that contemporary forces within Japan were
combining to create a strong movement for revision of the
constitution and for the acquisition of nuclear weapons by renewed
and powerful military establishment. The American government, which
had encouraged rearmament, was beginning to wonder about the world
effect of an economically powerful rearmed Japan and was weighing
the consequences of considering Japan its only major ally in East
Asia. Albert Axelbank suggests that shifting international politics
and the conservative momentum in Japan make revision of the
constitution and the development of Japanese militarism and nuclear
weapons almost inevitable.
