Senso The Japanese Remember the Pacific War Letters to the Editor of Asahi Shimbun

This acclaimed work is an extraordinary collection of letters written by a wide cross-section of Japanese citizens to one of Japan's leading newspapers, expressing their personal reminiscences and opinions of the Pacific war. SENSO provides the general reader and the specialist with moving, disturbing, startling insights on a subject deliberately swept under the rug, both by Japan's citizenry and its government. It is an invaluable index of Japanese public opinion about the war. For this new and expanded edition, the editor and translator have incorporated new material on "reassessing" the war. All the letters from the previous edition are included, along with additional letters that provide expanded representation of the original collection and new insights on rethinking the war experience.Gibney, Frank is the author of 'Senso The Japanese Remember the Pacific War Letters to the Editor of Asahi Shimbun', published 2006 under ISBN 9780765616432 and ISBN 0765616432.
