This book highlights the importance of individuals in the shaping
of postwar Japan by providing an historical account of how
physicists constituted an influential elite. An history of science
perspective provides insight into their role, helping us to
understand the hybrid identity of Japanese scientists, and how they
reinvented not only themselves, but also Japan. The book is special
in that it uses the history of science to deal with issues relating
to Japanese identity, and how it was transformed in the decades
after Japan's defeat. It explores the lives and work of seven
physicists, two of whom were Nobel prize winners. It makes use of
little-known Occupation period documents, personal papers of
physicists, and Japanese language source material.
