Brill The Power of Memory in Modern Japan

For the historian and social scientist, the opportunity to access recorded memories is invariably welcomed as a valuable building block in research and a determinant in establishing balance and perspective. Subjects treated include the Hiroshima Peace Memorial Museum, the Kamikaze Special Attack Corps (Tokk tai), how comfort women are remembered in 'historical revisionism' in Japan, the history and memory of the Nanjing massacre, the 'T ky Trial view of history', historical memory in novels, and an analysis of the post-occupation war movies. "The Power of Memory in Modern Japan" will be widely welcomed by students of modern Japanese history, politics and international relations.
