Pearl Hanji No Nippon Muzai Ron (Shogakukan Shinsho)

[Machine Translation] At the Tokyo Trials, held after World War II to try Class A war criminals, Indian Judge Pearl was the only one of the 11 judges who insisted on the "acquittal of all the accused. The Tokyo Tribunal was an illegal trial in which only the losers were condemned based on ex post facto laws created by the victors. This is a new edition of the bestseller "Judge Pearl's Japan's Innocence" (Shogakukan Bunko), which approaches the truth of the trial based on the text of the Pearl decision, which was not even allowed to be read at the time. Why don't only Japanese people know about the injustice that even MacArthur admitted? Included at the end of the book is a newly written manuscript by Naoki Momota.

第二次大戦後、A級戦犯を裁くために開かれた東京裁判で、11人の判事中唯一人「被告人全員無罪」を主張したのがインドのパール判事だった。「東京裁判は、勝者が作った事後法によって、敗者だけを断罪した違法裁判である」。当時は読み上げることも許されなかったパール判決文をもとに、裁判の真実に迫ったベストセラー『パール判事の日本無罪論』(小学館文庫)を新書化。マッカーサーも認めた不正を、なぜ日本人だけが知ろうとしないのか。百田尚樹氏による書き下ろし原稿を巻末に収録。
