World War II was the largest and most costly conflict in history,
the first true global war. Fought on land, on sea, and in the air,
it involved numerous countries and killed, maimed, or displaced
millions of people, both civilian and military, around the world.
In spite of the alliances that bound many of the same participants,
the war was essentially two separate but simultaneous conflicts:
one involved Japan as the major antagonist and took place mostly in
Asia and the Pacific; and the other, initiated by Germany and
Italy, was contested mainly in Europe, North Africa, the
Mediterranean, and the Atlantic. This book focuses on the lesser
known war, the war with Japan. It begins with Japan’s seizure of
Manchuria from China in 1931 and covers Japan’s ambitious attacks
on Pearl Harbor and other territories ten years later, the use of
atomic bombs on Japan’s cities, and the end of the Allied
occupation of Japan in 1952. Although Japan renounced war in its
1947 constitution, conflict continued across Asia, as former
colonies fought for independence and civil war engulfed other
areas. Historical Dictionary of World War II: The War Against
Japan, Second Edition contains a chronology, an introduction, and
an extensive bibliography. The dictionary section has more than 500
cross-referenced entries the military, diplomatic, political,
social, economic, and scientific aspects of the war, in addition to
the lives of the people who participated in and directed the war.
This book is an excellent resource for students, researchers, and
anyone wanting to know more about the war against Japan during
World War II.
