Politics and Culture in Wartime Japan
Angebote / Angebote:
The Pacific War was the most traumatic experience for Japan in modern times. This book examines the politics and culture of Japan during this period: the establishment of the wartime regime--its character and limitations, the actions and reactions of the emperor, the bureaucrats, and the politicians, the deposing of the Prime Minister in the middle of the war, political developments under his successors, the role of the press, the behavior of the intellectuals, and prevailing attitudes towards the West. Shillony argues that the wartime regime of Japan was very different from contemporary totalitarian states. The political values of the Japanese were part of a wider cultural milieu, in which traditional concepts had already been affected by contact with Western civilivzation.
