We read and read, trying to understand why we had to die in our early twenties. We felt the clock ticking away towards our death, every sound of the clock shortening our lives." So wrote Irokawa Daikichi, one of the many kamikaze pilots, or tokkotai, who faced almost certain death in the futile military operations conducted by Japan at the end of World War II. This moving history presents diaries and correspondence left by members of the tokkotai and other Japanese student soldiers who perished during the war. Outside of Japan, these kamikaze pilots were considered unbridled fanatics and chauvinists who willingly sacrificed their lives for the emperor. But the writings explored here by Emiko Ohnuki-Tierney clearly and eloquently speak otherwise. A significant number of the kamikaze were university students who were drafted and forced to volunteer for this desperate military operation. Such young men were the intellectual elite of modern Japan: steeped in the classics and major works of philosophy, they took Descartes' "I think, therefore I am" as their motto. And in their diaries and correspondence, as Ohnuki-Tierney shows, these student soldiers wrote long and often heartbreaking soliloquies in which they poured out their anguish and fear, expressed profound ambivalence toward the war, and articulated thoughtful opposition to their nation's imperialism. A salutary correction to the many caricatures of the kamikaze, this poignant work will be essential to anyone interested in the history of Japan and World War II. 606 $aWorld War, 1939-1945$xAerial operations, Japanese 606 $aKamikaze pilots$vDiaries 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aWorld War, 1939-1945$xAerial operations, Japanese. 615 0$aKamikaze pilots 676 $a940.54/49520922 676 $aB 700 $aOhnuki-Tierney$b Emiko$0690276 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910456845103321 996 $aKamikaze diaries$91980937 997 $aUNINA LEADER 00825nam a2200229 i 4500 001 991002659429707536 008 150116s2014 it a b 000 0 ita 020 $a9788878122291 035 $ab14211774-39ule_inst 040 $aBibl.

Do they work? Why are they so popular? Should countries be expanding them or rolling them back? These are some of the questions this volume attempts to answer. Simultaneously popular and problematic, loved and loathed, drug courts have proven an enduring topic for discussion in international drug policy debates. Starting in Miami in the 1980s and being exported enthusiastically across the world, we now have a range of international case studies to re-examine their effectiveness. Whereas traditional debates tended towards binaries like ?do they work??, this volume attempts to unpick their export and implementation, contextualising their efficacy. Instead of a simple yes or no answer, the book provides key insights into the operation of drug courts in various parts of the world. The case studies range from a relatively successful small-scale model in Australia, to the large and unwieldy business of drug courts in the US, to their failed scale-up in Brazil and the small and institutionally adrift models that have been tried in England, Scotland, Wales and Ireland. The book concludes that although drug courts can be made to work in very specific niche contexts, the singular focus on them as being close to a ?silver bullet? obscures the real issues that societies must address, including (but not limited to) a more comprehensive and full-spectrum focus on diverting drug-involved individuals away from the criminal justice system. 606 $aDrug courts$zUnited States 615 0$aDrug courts 676 $a345.730277 702 $aCollins$b John 702 $aAgnew-Pauley$b Winifred 702 $aSo?derholm$b Alexander 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bSFU 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910809179803321 996 $aRethinking drug courts$93932392 997 $aUNINA
