Pan-Asianism and Japan's War 1931-1945 (Electronic book text)

The book argues that Pan-Asianism was once an extremely potent ideology with real political consequences in Japan's foreign policymaking, particularly in the period between the Manchurian Incident (1931) until the end of the Pacific War (1945). When the war finally ended, Japan was left with no legitimacy in Asia and the world, leaving lasting challenges for Japan's regional and international standing.
