During World War II, Japan was the world's most militarized society and by 1945 nearly every Japanese male over the age of 10 wore some kind of military attire, as did the majority of women and girls. In this volume, Philip Jowett reveals the many military and civil-defence organizations active in wartime Japan, while specially commissioned artwork and carefully chosen archive photographs depict the appearance of the men, women and children involved in the Japanese war effort in the Home Islands throughout World War II.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIntroduction Medical Services The Police The Fire Service The \u003ci\u003eKeibodan\u003c\/i\u003e Civil-defense Organizations Patriotic Volunteer Groups Air Defenses The Transportation System Industries in Wartime Daily Life in Wartime Japan Bibliography Index","brand":"Bloomsbury Publishing PLC","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49408765231447,"sku":"9781472845535","price":13.49,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9781472845535.jpg?v=1730504122","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/the-japanese-home-front-193745-9781472845535","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
