內容簡介 The definitive account of the Tokyo war crimes trials of 1946-8, WWII and the beginning of the end of the European empires in Asia and the impact the settlement has had on post-war China and Japan, the wider history of East and South Asia - and of the world - to this day. A landmark, magisterial history of the trial of Japan’s leaders as war criminals—the largely overlooked Asian counterpart to Nuremberg. Gary Bass’ previous book - The Blood Telegram - on the Bangladeshi war of Independence of 1971 won the Cundill History Prize and five other prizes, in the US and in India
