  大日本帝国 戦争の歴史

• 内容紹介

  Japan at War in the Pacific recounts the dramatic story of Japan's transformation from a Samurai-led feudal society to a modern military-industrial empire in the space of a few decades--and the many wars it fought along the way. These culminated in an attempt by Japan's military leaders to create an Asia-Pacific empire which at its greatest extent rivaled the British Empire in scope and power.
  
  
  The battle for supremacy in the Pacific brought the Japanese to great heights but led ultimately to the nation's utter devastation at the end of World War II, culminating with the dropping of atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki--the only time such weapons have been used in warfare.
  
  明治維新から終戦までの日本の戦史。本書では、日清・日露戦争から太平洋戦争、そして終戦に至るまでの出来事を、年代順に詳述します。また戦争に至った社会背景や、政治家、軍上層部の信条などについても分析。さらに明治、大正、昭和初期の文化、食、服装、教育など、日本軍が影響を与えた事柄についても、75枚以上の資料とともに解説しています。
