However, with the emergence of the cold war in the 1950's, Japan was urged to establish the Self-Defense Forces as a way to bolster Western defenses against the tide of Asian communism. Although the SDF's role is supposedly limited to self-defense, Japan's armed forces are equipped with advanced weapons technology and the world's third-largest military budget. Sabine Frühstück draws on interviews, historical research, and analysis to describe the unusual case of a non-war-making military. As the first scholar permitted to participate in basic SDF training, she offers a firsthand look at an army trained for combat that nevertheless serves nontraditional military needs. 517 3 $aGender, memory, and popular culture in the Japanese army 606 $aMilitarism$zJapan$xHistory$y20th century 607 $aJapan$xArmed Forces$xHistory$y20th century 607 $aJapan$xDefenses$xHistory$y20th century 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aMilitarism$xHistory 676 $a355.0095209045 700 $aFru?hstu?ck$b Sabine$01026201 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910451732403321 996 $aUneasy warriors$92440992 997 $aUNINA
