| Summary / Abstract (Note) | Throughout Japan’s history, leaders have used a rhetoric of peace to justify aggression and imperialism. Peace is an apparition, historian Eri Hotta argues, that needs to be challenged if the country is to come to terms with its wartime past and confront the virulent nationalism of Japan’s conservative government. |
