Based on extensive research on the International Military Tribunal
for the Far East, this book closely examines the claims and
controversy surrounding the 'Nanjing Massacre', a period of murder
in 1937-1938 committed by Japanese troops against the residents of
Nanjing (Nanking), after the capture of the then capital of the
Republic of China, during the Second Sino-Japanese War. Focusing on
weighing up arguments denying Nanjing Massacre, this book considers
the Japanese 'Illusion' school of thought which contests the truth
of the Nanjing Massacre claims, including the death toll and the
scale of the violence. The Nanjing Massacre remains a controversial
issue in Sino-Japanese relations, despite the normalization of
bilateral relations, and this book goes to great lengths to examine
the events through comparative narratives, investigating different
perspectives and contributings to the debate from the extensive
research of the Tokyo Trial Research Centre at Shanghai, as well as
volumes of Chinese and Japanese historical documents.

Written by the Director of the Tokyo Trial Research Centre at
China's Shanghai Jiao Tong University, this book provides a unique
analysis of war crime trials in Asia-Pacific after World War II. It
offers a comprehensive review of key events during this period,
covering preparations for the Trial, examining the role of the War
Crimes Commission of the United Nations as well as offering a new
analysis of the trial itself. Addressing the question of
conventional war crimes, crimes against humanity, crimes against
peace (such as the Pearl Harbor Incident) and violations of warfare
law, it follows up with a discussion of post-trial events and the
fate of war criminals on trial. Additionally, it examines other
Japanese war crime trials which happened in Asia, as well as
considering the legacy of the Tokyo trial itself, and the
foundation of a new Post-War International Order in East Asia.
