This fascinating history, recounted from both the American and
Japanese perspectives, follows the course of the Empire of the
Sun's ultimately unequal struggle against the great allied powers.
Drawing on archive material, this new history provides the reader
with piercing strategic and political insights which debunk many of
the enduring myths which encompass Japan's apocalyptic drive for
hegemony in Southeast Asia. Why did Japan invade China? Was war
with America and the British Empire inevitable? Why was the
Japanese mobile fleet defeated so decisively at Midway? Why did the
Japanese continue fighting when defeat was inevitable? Was Emperor
Hirohito merely a puppet of the militarists? Why did the Japanese
people acquiesce in the occupation of their homeland? Whilst
unsparing in its treatment of Japan's ultimate culpability for
unleashing the Second World War, 'Japan at War 1931-1945' is an
objective appraisal of the tragedy that engulfed much of the
territories under Japanese control, and eventually Japan itself.
