Summary: | Draws on letters and diaries from the battlefield, provincial newspapers, and local histories to illuminate the complex and diverse experiences of soldiers and civilians as war ushered Japan into the modern world. Describes the military and diplomatic context of the war, the impression of the troops as they journeyed to the front, their attitudes toward other Asians, and their sense of nationalism and duty. Other topics include the emperor as commander in chief, the responses of local and central governments, and the impact on schools, communication, religion, and small business.
