The Story of the Japanese During 2nd World War and the Rise & Fall of the Japanese Empire 1931-1945..

Using never-before-seen footage, Japan's War in Colour tells a previously untold story. It recounts the history of the 2nd World War from a Japanese perspective, combining original colour film with letters and diaries written by Japanese people. It tells the story of a nation at war from the diverse perspectives of those whol lived through it: the leaders and the ordinary people, the oppressors and the victims, the guilty and the innocent. Until recently, it was believed that no colour film of Japan existed prior to 1945. But specialist research has now unearthed a remarkable colour record from as early as the 1930s. Examples of these extraordinary scenes include Imperial Japanese troops in manchuria, the visit of Prince Chichibu - Emperor Hirohito's brother - to Britain and his meeting with Adolf Hitler. Japanese aggression in hina, unique colour film of the suprise attack on Pearl Harbor and vibrant scenes of life on the japanese home front, for eight years the japanese fought what they believed was a Holy War that became a fight to the death. Japan's War in Colour shows how militarism took hold of the Japanese people: descrives why Japan felt compelled to attack the West; explains what drove the Japanese resist the Allies for so long; and, finally reveals how they dealt with the shame of defeat..
