Description
I n East Asia, the 100-year pre – lude to the momentous events of the 1930s and 1940s was as intriguing as the conspiratorial machinations taking place in Europe and the United States during the 19th century. After World War II finally erupted, the good people of Japan would endure immense suffering, death and destruction. But was the U.S.-UK-China war against Japan really a justifiable effort? Was Japan really the only one to blame for the events that ensued? The big lie of World War II—referred to as “The Greater East Asia War” by Imperial Japan—has left a nasty “dirt stain” upon the good name of this ancient nation with such an impressive cultural past. The inimitable Mike King’s epic, irrefutable and very readable Japan’s War of Self-Defense sets the record straight in a manner that state-approved Court Historians may not wish to entertain, but is true nonetheless.
Japan’s role in WWII is NOT usually given unbiased and factual attention. Happily, there’s an increasing awareness that the “sneak attack” of December 7, 1941 was deliberately provoked by the FDR administration. Now comes a very informative and entertaining book that turns the established version of the Pacific War on its head. It’s an excellent adjunct to Mike King’s The Bad War, also available from TBR. Softcover, 8.25 x 11 format, 159 pages, #1035, large print, many illustrations. $25 minus 10% for TBR subscribers plus $5 S&H inside the U.S. from TBR, P.O. Box 550, White Plains,, MD 20695.

Here’s what one online reviewer had to say about Japan’s War of Self-Defense:
“An excellent, well-written book loaded with verifiable information (facts and evidence) from credible sources regarding the use of relentless warmongering propaganda in order to satisfy the goals of certain government elites and collaborators to force U.S. entry into WWII. This caused massive destruction to Japan and the death of millions of Japanese men, women, and children—not only soldiers but civilians as well. The death toll was in the millions. “The use of information suppression, misinformation, disinformation—the propaganda tools of criminals and the untrustworthy, domestic and foreign—had occurred for decades and even generations against the people of Japan. “This is how the United States was led into ongoing foreign wars and conflicts on foreign soil from 1914 to the present—for more than 100 years The tragic outcomes of these wars, as cited in the book, could have been avoided if the righteous and just were in charge and making the decisions to pursue peace and prosperity for all, instead of war and destruction. —COLLETTE NISHIKI
