Description
Shigeru Mizuki's Showa 1944-1953: A History of Japan is a searing condemnation of war, told with the deft hand of Japan's most celebrated cartoonist. The tail-end of the Pacific War and its devastating consequences loom large in this penultimate installment of a landmark series.
The author's own life is irrevocably changed in the shadow of history, as he struggles to forge a path into the future. The catastrophic fallout from the atomic bomb surpasses the limits of popular imagination, leaving the author to grapple with the ultimate blow.
Translated by Zack Davisson, this volume is a powerful exploration of the human cost of war and the enduring legacy of Japan's twentieth century.
