This book examines the politics and culture of Japan during this period: the establishment of the wartime regime, its character and limitations; the actions and reactions of the emperor, the bureaucrats, and the politicians; the deposing of the Prime Minister in the middle of the war; political developments under his successors; the role of the press; the behaviour of intellectuals; and\n\u003cbr\u003eprevailing attitudes towards the West.  Ben-Ami Shillony argues that the wartime regime of Japan, repressive as it was, was very different from contemporary totalitarian states. The\n\u003cbr\u003epolitical values of the Japanese were part of a wider cultural milieu, in which traditional concepts had already been affected by contact with Western civilization.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Oxford University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46059459215598,"sku":"9780198202608","price":191.19,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0630\/9612\/7726\/files\/9780198202608.jpg?v=1736499936","url":"https:\/\/bookland.com.au\/products\/politics-and-culture-in-wartime-japan","provider":"Book Land AU","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
