A propos de ce titre

Synopsis

"Senso comes as close to anything I have seen to solving the mystery of obsessive Japanese reticence, even among themselves, about their war experience. ... Reading Gibney's English-language version of Senso convinces me of what I have long suspected: that the Japanese buried memories of the war not so they could live with outsiders but so they could live with one another." -- The Australian

Présentation de l'éditeur

This acclaimed work is an extraordinary collection of letters written by a wide cross-section of Japanese citizens to one of Japan's leading newspapers, expressing their personal reminiscences and opinions of the Pacific war. "SENSO" provides the general reader and the specialist with moving, disturbing, startling insights on a subject deliberately swept under the rug, both by Japan's citizenry and its government. It is an invaluable index of Japanese public opinion about the war.
