Description
The Tokyo Trial: A Review of the Victors' Justice. In 1946, the Allied powers brought Japanese military and state leaders to justice for their actions during World War II. Richard Minear examines the trial's background, proceedings, and judgment, exploring its impact on international law and history. Minear reviews the trial from multiple perspectives, including its legal process, historical context, and the motives of those involved. He discusses the trial's controversial aspects, such as the choice of judges and procedures, and the criticisms of dissenting judges. This account pulls together evidence that has been previously overlooked or dismissed. Originally published in 1971, The Victors' Justice Tokyo War Crimes Trial provides a comprehensive analysis of this significant event in international law and history.
