Beyond the "judgment of civilization": The intellectual legacy of the Japanese war crime trials, 1946-1949
Beyond the "Judgment of Cualization not only breaks new ground in looking at the Japanese war crimes trials from the viewpoint of intellectual as opposed to legal or political history; it also stands out for its interdiscipli nary approach, employing with equal facility the methods and concerns of literature and his- tory and quoting liberally from the writings of literary giants Mori Ogai and Natsume Söseki as well as intellectuals and statesmen like Fukuzawa Yukichi and Mutsu Munemitsu. The book treats a variety of sources-court records, memoirs, diaries, novels, and plays- as texts and draws on them to project, through the lens of the war crimes trials, a vivid picture of the "battle of civilization" in the immediate postwar years, a depiction far more profound than the one Prosecutor Keenan put forward.
