Synopsis
Following the release of Clint Eastwood's epic film Letters from Iwo Jima , which was nominated for the Oscar for Best Picture, there has been a renewed fascination and interest in the Japanese perspective on World War II. This pathbreaking work of oral history is the first book ever to capture--in either Japanese or English--the experience of ordinary Japanese people during the war. In a sweeping panorama, Haruko Taya Cook and Theodore F. Cook take us from the Japanese attacks on China in the 1930s to the Japanese home front during the inhuman raids on Tokyo, Hiroshima, and Nagasaki, offering the first glimpses of how the twentieth century's most deadly conflict affected the lives of the Japanese population. The book "seeks out the true feelings of the wartime generation and] illuminates the contradictions between the official views of the war and living testimony" ( Yomiuri Shimbun , Japan). Japan at War is a book to which Americans and Japanese will continue to turn for decades to come. With more than 30,000 copies sold to date, this edition features an updated cover designed to appeal to a new generation of readers., A "deeply moving book" (Studs Terkel) and the first ever oral history to document the experience of ordinary Japanese people during World War II "Hereafter no one will be able to think, write, or teach about the Pacific War without reference to [the Cooks'] work." --Marius B. Jansen, Emeritus Professor of Japanese History, Princeton University This pathbreaking work of oral history by Haruko Taya Cook and Theodore F.

The book "seeks out the true feelings of the wartime generation [and] illuminates the contradictions between the official views of the war and living testimony" ( Yomiuri Shimbun , Japan).
