Summary

"War crimes tribunals in postwar East Asia cemented national divides. Tribunals allowed the history of the defeated to be heard so a narrative and counter narrative formed the basis of postwar memory concerning Japan's imperial aims. The archival record of evidence shaped a competing set of histories for public consumption"-- Provided by publisher.
