Description

Book Synopsis
Examination of postwar trials is now a thriving area of research, but Sharon W. Chamberlain is the first to offer an authoritative assessment of the legal proceedings convened in the Philippines. These were trials conducted by Asians, not Western powers, and centred on the abuses suffered by local inhabitants rather than by prisoners of war.

Trade Review
A riveting historical narrative. Making extensive use of primary sources, it offers a wealth of information and stories of real people through whose eyes Chamberlain unravels the complex postwar matrix of colonization and decolonization, hatred and forgiveness, and hard political and economic calculations."" - Franziska Seraphim, author of War Memory and Social Politics in Japan, 1945–2005
