Showa, Japanese for 'radiant peace', was the name given to Emperor
Hirohito's reign at his accession in 1926. This was the beginning
of a significant period of growth of militarism, the Pacific war
and the phenomenal post-war economic expansion of Japan. The first
book to present modern Japanese history through the eyes of
individuals, Showa presents the experiences of three individuals
born at the beginning of this age, giving a unique inside view of
Japan's recent history. Their experiences include training as a
suicide pilot, being a draft evader during the Pacific War, a
leader in the Communist Party, and a colonist in Korea, turned
overnight in August 1945 from a member of the ruling elite into a
refugee. First published in 1984, this title is part of the
Bloomsbury Academic Collections series.
