Omschrijving
British journalist Henry Scott-Stokes describes the transformation of his understanding of the Greater East Asian War (the so-called Pacific War) from uncritical acceptance of the western colonialist’s version to realization of its absolute vacuousness.
The history of the world has always been written by the victors and not the defeated. Thus, so-called authentic histories are filled with falsehoods, rationalizations, and hostility against the losers. Until we correct these falsehoods, will we not have an authentic history. This book is exemplary in its effort to revise the history of World War II.
A compelling third person evaluation of history surrounding World War II in the Pacific from the Japanese perspective, and a clear call for Japan to reclaim its independence, this book is a must-read, finally available in English.
Henry Scott Stokes was born in England in 1938. After earning an undergraduate degree from Oxford University, he joined the Financial Times, Inc. He became Tokyo Bureau Chief of The Times and became Tokyo Bureau Chief of The New York Times. He is the author of The Life and Death of Yukio Mishima (Farrar, Straus and Giroux Inc., New York).
