Description

This comprehensive historical study charts the discoveries of Japanese soldiers found still fighting in Southeast Asia and the Pacific years after World War II ended. The book explores their dramatic returns to Japan and examines the profound impact these discoveries had on Japanese society, including shifting attitudes towards war veterans and the families of war casualties. Through detailed research, the author reveals the complex and often ambivalent ways the Japanese people processed and remembered the war, providing essential insight into post-war Japanese identity and collective memory during the 1950-75 period. This volume contributes significantly to understanding how nations reconcile with prolonged conflicts and the lasting psychological legacy of war on both returning soldiers and the civilian population.
