Overshadowed for many years by the Nuremberg trials, the Tokyo
Trial--one of the major events in the aftermath of World War
II--has elicited renewed interest since the 50th anniversary of the
war's end. Revelations of previously hidden war crimes, including
comfort women and biological warfare, and the establishment of
international courts to try Yugoslav and Rwandan war criminals have
added to the interest. This bibliography addressees the renewed
interest in the Tokyo Trial, providing over 700 citations to
official publications, scholarly monographs and journal articles,
contemporaneous accounts, manuscript collections, and Web sites.
Also included are sources on the Trial's influence on international
law and military law and unresolved issues being debated to this
day.
Defining war crimes after the fact, practicing victor's justice
to punish enemies, holding military commanders accountable for
their troops' actions--these were issues confronted in the Tokyo
Trial and other Asia-Pacific war crimes trials. They are still
being investigated, researched, and debated today. This
bibliography helps to illuminate these issues from different
perspectives, providing a variety of ways to locate relevant
English-language sources. The volume also includes citations to
contemporary issues stemming from the Asia-Pacific war crimes
trials--comfort women, biological warfare, and unresolved issues of
reparations and official apologies. The book is a useful guide to
sources on all aspects of the Tokyo Trial.
