In the epic Judgment at Tokyo, acclaimed historian Gary J. Bass chronicles the lesser-known yet profoundly significant Tokyo War Crimes Trials, where Japanese leaders stood accused of wartime atrocities. This landmark 944-page volume reveals how the trials shaped postwar Asia, international law, and the global perception of justice and empire.
Blending political insight with powerful storytelling, Bass examines the tensions between East and West, the ethical dilemmas of war crimes prosecution, and the legacy of accountability in a reshaped world. A must-read for scholars of international law, WWII history, and Asian studies.
