Moving deftly from the struggles of the home front to the occupied territories to the ravages of the front line, the book offers rare insights into popular experiences from the war's troubled beginnings through Japan's disastrous defeat in 1945 and the new beginning it heralded. Yoshimi Yoshiaki mobilizes diaries, letters, memoirs, and government documents to portray the ambivalent position of ordinary Japanese as both wartime victims and active participants. He also provides penetrating accounts of the war experiences of Japan's minorities and imperial subjects, including Koreans and Taiwanese. His book challenges the idea that the Japanese people operated as a mere conduit for the military during the war, passively accepting an imperial ideology imposed upon them by the political elite. Viewed from the bottom up, wartime Japan unfolds as a complex modern mass society, with a corresponding variety of popular roles and agendas. In chronicling the diversity of wartime Japanese social experience, Yoshimi's account elevates our understanding of "Japanese Fascism." In its relation of World War II to the evolution-and destruction-of empire, it makes a fresh contribution to the global history of the war. Ethan Mark's translation supplements the Japanese original with explanatory notes and an in-depth introduction that situates the work within Japanese studies and global history. 410 0$aWeatherhead books on Asia. 606 $aWorld War, 1939-1945$vPersonal narratives, Japanese 606 $aWorld War, 1939-1945$xCampaigns$zPacific Area 606 $aFascism$zJapan$xHistory$y20th century 607 $aJapan$xHistory$y1926-1945$vBiography 607 $aJapan$xPolitics and government$y1926-1945 615 0$aWorld War, 1939-1945 615 0$aWorld War, 1939-1945$xCampaigns 615 0$aFascism$xHistory 676 $a940.53/52 700 $aYoshimi$b Yoshiaki$f1946-$01630243 702 $aMark$b Ethan 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910818955303321 996 $aGrassroots fascism$93968425 997 $aUNINA
