"The result of years of research, this ... collection of photographs is a powerful document showing Japan's turbulent rise and fall, from its expansionist beginnings in the nineteenth century, through imperial adventures in China, the rise of militarism during the 1930s and early successes, to the dramatic and devastating defeat at the hands of the Allies in 1945"--Jacket

Until recently it had been assumed that no colour photographs existed in Japan until the victorious US forces arrived in 1945. However, following a year-long research project, an extraordinary colour record began to emerge. Rare photographs reveal imperial Japanese troops in Manchuria in 1931, preparations for war in 1939, occupation troops in 1940 and the Japanese war machine in action throughout the Second World War. This book contains a unique and fascinating archive of colour photographs, film stills and prints from one of the most momentous periods in world history, including never-before-seen photographs of Japanese troops in action and extremely rare colour photographs of the attack on Pearl Harbour.

To commemorate the 70th anniversary of Japan's surrender to the Allied powers, this unique volume explores World War II from an often-overlooked perspective: that of the Japanese home and military fronts. Extraordinary color photographs, film stills, and prints capture a nation eager to expand, and provide a glimpse of Kamikaze pilots, the young Emperor Hirohito on a state visit to England, the attack on Pearl Harbor, propaganda posters from the occupation of China, troops praying for victory, and allied prisoners of war at work.
