Synopsis
Following the release of Clint Eastwood's epic film Letters from Iwo Jima , which was nominated for the Oscar for Best Picture, there has been a renewed fascination and interest in the Japanese perspective on World War II. This pathbreaking work of oral history is the first book ever to capture--in either Japanese or English--the experience of ordinary Japanese people during the war. In a sweeping panorama, Haruko Taya Cook and Theodore F. Cook take us from the Japanese attacks on China in the 1930s to the Japanese home front during the inhuman raids on Tokyo, Hiroshima, and Nagasaki, offering the first glimpses of how the twentieth century's most deadly conflict affected the lives of the Japanese population. The book "seeks out the true feelings of the wartime generation and] illuminates the contradictions between the official views of the war and living testimony" ( Yomiuri Shimbun , Japan). Japan at War is a book to which Americans and Japanese will continue to turn for decades to come. With more than 30,000 copies sold to date, this edition features an updated cover designed to appeal to a new generation of readers., A "deeply moving book" (Studs Terkel) and the first ever oral history to document the experience of ordinary Japanese people during World War II "Hereafter no one will be able to think, write, or teach about the Pacific War without reference to [the Cooks'] work." --Marius B. Jansen, Emeritus Professor of Japanese History, Princeton University This pathbreaking work of oral history by Haruko Taya Cook and Theodore F. Cook was the first book ever to capture the experience of ordinary Japanese people during the war and remains the classic work on the subject.

The book "seeks out the true feelings of the wartime generation [and] illuminates the contradictions between the official views of the war and living testimony" ( Yomiuri Shimbun , Japan).

The seller said he would send me the boxes and tracking but instead he offered me a whole $1 off and I could keep the bags, LOL! When I declined the offer he finally sent the boxes which I received today all bent and banged up. The seller has since reworded the description of this item, so read the fine print, it's still misleading.Odpowiedź od: highdesertgeneralstore- Opinie, na które odpowiedział sprzedawca highdesertgeneralstore.- Opinie, na które odpowiedział sprzedawca highdesertgeneralstore.The photos included the exact boxes you received FOR FREE AFTER STARTING A RETURN REFUND. I included the boxes in photos to show the bags authenticity and brand new condition. I sent boxes for free even though the listing does not mention boxes included, but I honored because of the crises you seemed to be in. The item you paid for came as described in perfect condition. Leaving negative feedback for an item you got for free after we discussed returning the bags for a full refund isn't right.
