(Numerous illustrations included) What exactly raised me as a militaristic youth? With this question that has lingered for 30 years, the author surveyed wartime publications and wrote a 1200-page comprehensive history from the Sino-Japanese War to the Tokyo Trials. It overturns the common belief that militarism and the Emperor system were to blame and that the people were victims, and it points out the meaning of anti-Japanese and exclusion of Japan in Asia. The truth of that war is now revealed. #TsuneYamanaka #Tsune_Yamanaka #book #PacificWar
