This book explores a cross-section of war crimes trials that the
Allied powers held against the Japanese in the aftermath of World
War II. More than 2,240 trials against some 5,700 suspected war
criminals were carried out at 51 separate locations across the Asia
Pacific region. This book analyzes fourteen high-profile American,
Australian, British, and Philippine trials, including the two
subsequent proceedings at Tokyo and the Yamashita trial. By delving
into a large body of hitherto underutilized oral and documentary
history of the war as contained in the trial records, Yuma Totani
illuminates diverse firsthand accounts of the war that were offered
by former Japanese and Allied combatants, prisoners of war, and the
civilian population. Furthermore, the author makes a systematic
inquiry into select trials to shed light on a highly complex - and
at times contradictory - legal and jurisprudential legacy of Allied
war crimes prosecutions.
