Judgement At Tokyo by Gary J. Bass
World War II on Trial and the Making of Modern Asia
A sweeping account of the Tokyo war crimes trials after World War II, tracing how prosecutors, judges, and defendants wrestled with accountability for atrocities across Asia. It explores the legal innovations and controversies—over victors’ justice, colonialism, and the definition of aggression—that shaped emerging norms of international law and human rights. Through courtroom drama and global diplomacy, it shows how the tribunal influenced Japan’s politics and the broader postwar order in Asia.
