New York Continnuum-3PL 2003 Hard cover New. Sewn binding. Cloth over boards. With dust jacket. 216 p.

ISBN10: 1852851929, ISBN13: 9781852851927, [publisher: Hambledon and London] Hardcover During the Second World War the Japanese were stereotyped in the European and American imagination as fanatical, cruel and almost inhuman. This view is unhistorical and simplistic. It fails to recognise that the Japanese were acting at a time of supreme national crisis and it fails to take account of their own historical tradition. The essays in Japanese Prisoners of War, by both Western and Japanese scholars, explore the question from a balanced viewpoint, looking at it in the light of longer-term influences, notably the Japanese attempt to establish themselves as an honorary white race. The book also addresses the other side of the question, looking at the treatment of Japanese prisoners in Allied captivity. 2000. First edition. A fine, unmarked copy in a fine d/w.

Hambledon & London: Continnuum-3PL. Very Good/Very Good. Date: 1999. First Edition. Hard Cover. 8vo 1852851929 Dust jacket complete, unclipped, fading to spine colour. Original cloth boards with bright gilt titling on spine. No ownership marks. 216 pages clean and tight. Dimensions: 15.6 x 1.4 x 594.2 cm. During World War II the Japanese were stereotyped in the European imagination as fanatical, cruel, almost inhuman - an image reflected in most books and films about prisoner of war in the Far East. While the Japanese certainly treated those they captured badly, behaving far worse to Chinese and native captives than to Europeans, the conventional view of the Japanese is unhistorical and simplistic. It fails to recognize that the Japanese were acting at a time of supreme national crisis trial, at a particular period of their history, and that their attitudes were influenced by a combination of their perception of their own racial identity mixed with a powerful historical tradition. This collection of essays, by both western and Japanese scholars, aims to see the question from a historical viewpoint, and from both a western and Japanese perspective, looking at it in the light of both longer-term influences, notably the Japanese attempt to establish themselves as an honorary white race. The essays also examine particular instances. Conditions in the almost self-run camp at Changi contrasted remarkably with those on the Burma Railway, where disease ...
