Title
What the Tokyo Trial Reveals About Empire, Memory, and Judgment
Abstract
The Allied tribunal in postwar Tokyo was modelled on the one in Nuremberg. If the Nuremberg trial was questionable in some respects, the trial of Japanese wartime leaders in Tokyo was far more dubious. John Dower, the finest American historian of modern Japan, called the Tokyo trial “a murky reflection of its German counterpart.”
