Warriors of the Rising Sun

Warriors of the Rising Sun chronicles the Japanese military's transformation from honorable "knights of Bushido" into men who massacred thousands during the Pacific War. Crucial in bringing about this change was Western rejection of Japan as an aspiring colonial power, as well as the West's racist, anti-Japanese immigration policies. Japan's leaders chose military brutality as a necessary means to achieve a rightful place in the world. Today, Japan has the second largest military budget in the world. What lessons have her leaders learned from the past wars?

המשפט הראשון: he transition from chivalry to brutality by Japan's military cannot be understood without a knowledge of the ecent history of Northeast Asia, especially Japan's entanglements with China Korea, and Russia.
