This unique account of the Second World contains extraordinary
colour photographs documenting Japan's rise and fall: from its
forced entrance onto the world stage in 1854, through its first
imperial adventures in China and its sudden attack on the United
States and British forces in 1941, to its catastrophic defeat in
1945. Kamikaze pilots, the young Emperor Hirihito on a state visit
to England, the attack on Pearl Harbor, propaganda posters from the
occupation of China, troops praying for victory, and allied
prisoners of war at work are just some of the images in this
fascinating portrait of the Japanese nation fighting at first for
expansion, then for survival. The background, build-up and the war
itself are described here from a Japanese standpoint, to help
explain why Japan was prepared to start a war that became a fight
to the death. This book contains a unique and fascinating archive
of colour photographs, film stills and prints, including
photographs of Japanese troops, planes and tanks in action that
have never before been seen in the West.
