"A pathbreaking study that situates Manchukuo where it belongs in
the center of Japan's imperial project. In an admirably bold and
beautifully textured analysis, Young shows how the military,
economic, and social aspects of an imperialism that involved more
than a million Japanese in the domination of Northeast China
emerged as the fateful outcome of modernity and ended as the ground
of a terrible war. Total war, total mobilization, total empire--a
gripping account of the lessons of twentieth-century
history."--Carol Gluck, author of "Japan's Modern Myths
"A work of major importance in the study of Japanese
imperialism. Louise Young has opened up areas unexplored by
research works in the English language, examining them in rich
detail and commenting on them on many levels and in many
stimulating ways."--Peter Duus, author of "The Abacus and the
Sword
"A magisterial work, at once comprehensive and penetrating. At
home with both statistics and cultural imagery, Louise Young shows
that relations with Manchuria galvanized the entire social body of
Japan through its emerging mass culture. She stirs the silent
memories of a dangerous place, a place that shaped modern Japan
much more intimately than we imagined."--Prasenjit Duara, author of
"Rescuing History from the Nation: Questioning Narratives of Modern
China
