Thank you for viewing "Errors of the War Crimes Trials." Author: Lord Hankey (Maurice Hankey), Secretary to the British Privy Council Translation: Sai Hasegawa Commentary: Yoshio Ueshima Keiei Kagaku Publishing Although this book seems indispensable for considering the Tokyo Trials, why was it out of print for so many years? Why wasn't it widely read? For the post-war mass media, questioning the "Tokyo Trials" was practically taboo. Perhaps many citizens were also indifferent. Even after the restoration of independence, the aftereffects of censorship under the occupation continued, and in the flow from prior censorship to subsequent censorship, self-censorship (Seif-censorship) is now unconsciously at work, perhaps leading to a lack of pain in the loss of the right to interpret history. (Commentary by Yoshio Ueshima)
