Abstract:The Greater East Asian War: How Japan Changed The World
By Kase Hideaki
Chapter 1 - Up to the Day Japan Surrendered
The Greater East Asian War (The Pacific War) is generally perceived as Japan’s “war of aggression”.
Mr. Kase, Chairman of Society for the Dissemination of Historical Fact, presents in this book a completely different, rather opposite view that the war broke down the long lasted world wide colonial system and played a great historical role in advancing the racial equality in the world.
English translation of this book is to be introduced chapter by chapter. This is its Chapter 1.
