This book brings together discussions of leading aspects and
repercussions of the Asia-Pacific War, which still have huge
relevance today. From the development of war guilt to the vivid
effect of art on bringing alive the realities of the war, it
analyses a diversity of post-war issues in the Pacific Basin.
Organised into five parts, the book begins by scrutinizing the
conflicting attitudes towards Japanese post-war society and
identifies the various legacies of the war. It also provides an
examination of the aftermath of Hiroshima and Nagaski, before
studying contemporary civil society and analysing the way memories
of the war have changed with time. Each of the chapters discusses
the Japanese government's inability to achieve reconciliation with
its neighbours, despite the passage of over 70 years, and the
denial of the atrocities committed by the Imperial Army. Arguing
that this policy of continuous denial has triggered the rise of
civil movements in Japan, this book will be useful to students and
scholars of Japanese History and Japanese Studies in general.
