Book Synopsis
This book assesses the historical significance of the International Military Tribunal for the Far East (IMTFE)commonly called the Tokyo trialestablished as the eastern counterpart of the Nuremberg trial in the immediate aftermath of World War II.

Trade Review
The significance of this book is not whether the Tokyo trials established the guilt of Japanese wartime political leaders for initiating an aggressive war, and their culpability for the horrific war crimes committed by Japanese military personnel against innocent civilians and Allied military personnel. While these are important, the real import of The Tokyo War Crimes Trials is its systematic, yet nuanced analysis of the prevalent Japanese view--one that persists to this day--that the Tokyo tribunals were illegitimate because the legal process was corrupted for ideological and political reasons...This excellent book belongs on the bookshelf of every historian interested in legal history generally and war crimes in particular. -- Fred L. Borch * Journal of Military History *
