Since World War II "victim consciousness" (higaisha ishiki) has
been an essential component of Japanese pacifist national identity.
In his meticulously crafted narrative and analysis, James Orr
reveals how postwar Japanese elites and American occupying
authorities collaborated to structure the parameters of remembrance
of the war, including the notion that the emperor and his people
had been betrayed and duped by militarists. Fluently written and
flawlessly executed, The Victim as Hero will contribute greatly to
the discourses on nationalism and war responsibility in Japan.
