    Great news, was just wondering if I would be making my students buy the hardback or whether the paper book version would be coming out soon! Really found Stranger in the Shogun’s City fascinating and wanted to read more.

    Yes, we are new in paperback next week! For all your reading and survey course assignment needs. (Picture to come when I get my big box of them)

    　Even though the Battle of Okinawa officially ended over 76 years ago, this 'Irei no hi' 6/23/21 was the first time for this war survivor to visit the Peace memorial Park and monument.

    Yep, this is pretty normal. Most folks know little about WWII in Asia, and if they do know stuff, it is usually about Pacific War. For a broader historical examination, recommend S.C.M Paine, Hans van de Ven, Diana Lary, Rana Mitter, , Tak Fujitani, .

    It blows my mind that this was just shy of 80 years ago. Even as someone who works on China, my own sense of World War II is fairly Eurocentric—beyond a few major items I really don’t know much about what happened in the Pacific theater, and I suspect I’m not unique in that here
