The population of wartime Japan (1940-1945) has remained a largely
faceless enemy to most Americans thanks to the distortions of US
wartime propaganda, popular culture, and news reports. At a time
when this country's wartime experiences are slowly and belatedly
coming into focus, this remarkable book by Samuel Yamashita offers
an intimate picture of what life was like for ordinary Japanese
during the war. Drawing upon diaries and letters written by
servicemen, kamikaze pilots, evacuated children, and teenagers and
adults mobilized for war work in the big cities, provincial towns,
and rural communities, Yamashita lets us hear for the first time
the rich mix of voices speaking in every register during the course
of the war. Daily Life in Wartime Japan, 1940-1945 is also a
glimpse of a now-vanished world.
