Grassroots Fascism reveals, through the careful culling, instructive reading, and lucid contextualizing of an array of documents, a broad range of Japanese voices speaking of their experiences in wartime. It is a necessary book for understanding how life was lived and felt and articulated during these difficult years., Ethan Mark's elegant translation... is sure to add a crucial level of complexity to the global scholarly discourse on the nature of Japan's war, and indeed on the social mechanics of war in general... Insightful, eminently readable..., These searing and honest accounts drawn from the diaries and memoirs of ordinary Japanese soldiers and civilians make abundantly clear the brutality of the Japanese Imperial Army. They also reveal the suffering, the blind devotion, the gradually emerging seeds of doubt, and finally both the catharsis and the disillusionment that came with the collapse of the empire. Ethan Mark's excellent historiographic introduction places Yoshimi's work in the context of postwar Japan's long process of coming to terms with its imperialist past. A crucial contribution to our understanding of modern Japan., Yoshimi skillfully shows how people, who were initially opposed to the military government's policies, ultimately became fervent collaborators with the fascists and committed atrocities in various parts of the Asia Pacific during World War II. Yoshimi also challenges the difficult question of why the Japanese failed to develop a strong sense of war responsibility for victims of the Asian war despite their dire experiences. A valuable volume for comprehending why Japan as a nation is still unable to resolve the problem of war responsibility., [ Grassroots Fascism ] offers a comprehensive narrative of the situation from the beginning of the war in Asia to the early days following surrender to the Allied forces., This chronicle of wartime mentalities from the bottom up is essential reading for anyone interested in fascism conceptually and the Asia-Pacific Theater of World War II. It testifies to Yoshimi's unflinching scholarship and his ongoing quest to promote serious debate about Japan's wartime past., This is an important work that anyone with an interest in historical disputes in East Asia should read., The translation of Yoshiaki Yoshimi's unprecedented Grassroots Fascism makes available his compelling narrative of popular participation in the actuality of Japanese fascism before and during the Pacific War. Although this classic work concentrates on how ordinary people were enlisted into Japan's fascist project, it also shows in rich detail the role they were willing to play as agents at the level of everyday life. Yoshimi's book joins a post-Cold War historiographical tradition that once more recognizes the necessity to take fascism seriously as a global conjunctural event., Ethan Mark's elegant translation... is sure to add a crucial level of complexity to the global scholarly discourse on the nature of Japan's war, and indeed on the social mechanics of war in general... Insightful, eminently readable., Drawing from an impressive array of primary sources... the book provides one of the richest articulations of the voices, beliefs, and attitudes developed by million of Japanese as they moved from their villages to the expanding boundaries of the wartime empire., This book will enliven our classrooms and enrich historiographical discourses on war, empire, and fascism both within and beyond Japanese history, Ethan Mark deserves praise for translating this seminal work and for supplying a valuable introductory essay setting it in the broader context of Japanese scholarship.

No complaints here! Arrived later than advertised, but that was fine. Good communication by seller. 150-year old book actually arrived in better condition than I expected even though it was delivered inside a thin plastic envelope. For the sale price, I am a very happy customer. Thank you!
