Stewart Lone

Provincial Life and the Military in Imperial Japan (eBook, ePUB)

The Phantom Samurai

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

The book challenges the long-standing view of prewar Japan as a 'militaristic' society. Instead of relying on the usual accounts about senior commanders and politics at the heart of government, it shows the realities of provincial society's relations with the military in Japan at ground level.
