Gyakusetsu No Nippon Shi Bekkan 4 (Shogakukan Bunko)

[Machine Translation] The reason why there are so many "absolute war deniers" in Japan may be because they are stuck in a guilt-historical view that all past wars are evil. The Sino-Japanese War had great significance in that it ended Chinese hegemony and promoted the modernization of Asia. On the other hand, the Anglo-Satsuma War exposed the foolishness of the Japanese people. Just as the Japanese sword could not stop the Black Ships, Article 9 of the Constitution cannot protect the people from Taepodong. The exclusion of foreigners and constitutional protection are the same in the sense of "imaginary national defense. The fourth volume in the "Paradoxical History of Japan" series, "History of War in Japan," is a war theory that explores the heroic figures active during the Warring States Period and the final days of the Tokugawa Restoration, and the depths of warfare. The lessons learned from this paradoxical view of history are a must-read!
