After more than six years of active fighting in the Far East and
over two years of open war between Japan and the Anglo-Saxon
powers, Japanese political warfare was still a factor largely
unknown in the Western world. Overshadowed by the much nearer and
more closely felt exertions of the Nazi propaganda machine, it came
to be regarded as too remote to have any noticeable bearing on the
general course of the war. In the months leading up to Pearl
Harbour, Tokyo Radio, the official Domei News Agency and the
Japanese press jointly conducted an efficient war of nerves which,
for all its alleged clumsiness effectively deceived many in Britain
and the USA. The attack on Pearl Harbour showed how Tokyo's
political warfare achieved its object: the creation of a political
smoke-screen. During the period of Japan's conquests in 1942
following Pearl Harbour, and before that in China, Japan's
political warfare showed itself quite capable of producing useful
results.The volume is divided into two parts: the first deals with
machinery and methods and gives as full and detailed a survey of
the various government organs directing and controlling political
warfare, the structure of the Japanese press, the organisation of
Japanese broadcasting, the functioning of censorship and the extent
to which education, science, literature, the arts and the cinema
are being employed for purposes of propaganda, both in the Japanese
homeland and in the wider area of the conquered empire. The second
part deals with the aims and policies of Japanese propaganda, and
attempts to give an outline of the way in which the machinery is
being operated. It includes an analysis of the main groups of
standard slogans and catchphrases which recur everywhere in
Japanese propaganda and a special chapter is devoted to the use
made of religion for purposes of political warfare.
