Konoe Fumimaro: A Political biography
The complex life and career of Prince Fumimaro Konoe, a key Japanese political figure during the 1930s and early 1940s. The biography traces his aristocratic background, his idealistic vision for Japan, and how he became an influential leader navigating between civilian politics and the rising power of the military. Oka examines Konoe’s role in major historical events such as the Second Sino-Japanese War, his efforts in forming the Taisei Yokusankai (Imperial Rule Assistance Association), and his involvement in diplomacy (including attempts to mediate between Japan and the United States). The book also treats Konoe’s internal conflicts, his political failures, and his tragic end: after being suspected of war crimes at the end of World War II, he committed suicide. Oka presents Konoe as a sincere but ultimately tragic statesman, whose idealism clashed with the harsh realities of militarism and wartime politics.
