文档介绍：Japanese Army Stragglers and
Memories of the War in Japan,
1950–1975
This prehensively charts the discovery and repatriation between 1950
and 1975, of so-called ‘stragglers’– Japanese soldiers who had remained in
hiding overseas, unwilling to believe the war was over – still fighting the Second
World War on the edges of former battlefields in South-East Asia and the Pacific.
It explores their return to Japan and their impact on the Japanese people,
revealing changing attitudes to war veterans and war casualties’ families, as well
as the ambivalence of memories of the war.
Beatrice Trefalt lectures in East Asian History in the School of Liberal Arts,
University of Newcastle, New South Wales.
