The klieg-lighted Tokyo Trial began on May 3, 1946, and ended on
November 4, 1948, a majority of the eleven judges from the
victorious Allies finding the twenty-five surviving defendants,
Japanese military and state leaders, guilty of most, if not all, of
the charges. As at Nuremberg, the charges included for the first
time "crimes against peace" and "crimes against humanity," as well
as conventional war crimes. In a polemical account, Richard Minear
reviews the background, proceedings, and judgment of the Tokyo
Trial from its Charter and simultaneous Nuremberg "precedent" to
its effects today. Mr. Minear looks at the Trial from the aspects
of international law, of legal process, and of history. With
compelling force, he discusses the motives of the Nuremberg and
Tokyo proponents, the Trial's prejudged course--its choice of
judges, procedures, decisions, and omissions--General MacArthur's
review of the verdict, the criticisms of the three dissenting
judges, and the dangers inherent in such an international,
political trial. His systematic, partisan treatment pulls together
evidence American lawyers and liberals have long suspected, feared,
and dismissed from their minds. Contents: Preface. I. Introduction.
II. The Tokyo Trial. III. Problems of International Law. IV.
Problems of Legal Process. V. Problems of History. VI. After the
Trial. Appendices. Originally published in 1971. The Princeton
Legacy Library uses the latest print-on-demand technology to again
make available previously out-of-print books from the distinguished
backlist of Princeton University Press. These editions preserve the
original texts of these important books while presenting them in
durable paperback and hardcover editions. The goal of the Princeton
Legacy Library is to vastly increase access to the rich scholarly
heritage found in the thousands of books published by Princeton
University Press since its founding in 1905.
