In 1940 Shokichi Hamada is a conscientious objector who dodges military service by simply disappearing from society, taking to the country as an itinerant peddler by the name of Sugiura until the end of the war in 1945. In 1965, Hamada works as a clerk at a conservative university, his war resistance a dark secret of the past that present-day events force into the light, confronting him with unexpected consequences of his refusal to conform twenty years earlier.Pacific Basin Institute book.Columbia Asian studies series.Conscientious objectorsJapanFictionWorld War, 1939-1945Conscientious objectorsJapanFictionElectronic books.Conscientious objectorsWorld War, 1939-1945Conscientious objectors895.6/35Maruya Saiichi1925-2012,756411Keene Dennis1934-2007,MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910455032503321Grass for my pillow2471850UNINA
