Unhappy Soldier chronicles the writings of Hino Ashihei, Japan's
most popular World War II writer. Ashihei rose to national
celebrity status during the Pacific War for his accounts of
campaigns in China and Southeast Asia, works that identified and
sympathized with the common soldier. Despite being linked to the
nationalistic ideology of the wartime state and purged during the
Occupation, Ashihei proved to be an enduring literary and cultural
phenomenon, reinventing himself with new, postwar writing that
confronted the sunny patriotism of his wartime work. David
Rosenfeld's book--the first in-depth study of wartime Japanese
literature in English--provides a wealth of new material on how
writing about the war was read during and after the conflict and
new insight into the formation of Japan's national discourse on the
war experience.
