The Tokyo War Crimes Trials was the Pacific War’s answer to Europe’s “Judgment at Nuremberg.” But, the trial of Nazi Germany’s wartime leaders has always dominated both American perceptions of the immediate aftermath of World War II and the extensive literature on how the Axis elite was brought to justice.
Arnold C. Brackman, a journalist who covered the 1946-1948 Tokyo trial, has now attempted to remedy this imbalance in “The Other Nuremberg.” He really believes the implications of his title.
Germany under Hitler and Japan under Tojo were both, in Brackman’s view, brutal, expansionist powers that committed massive crimes against humanity. The author even claims that the Japanese army penetrated “a holocaust” in China that claimed 6 million lives.
Disturbed by short American memories of Japanese wrongdoing during the war, Brackman is even more concerned with the creeping amnesia that characterizes contemporary Japanese understanding of their own pre-democratic nightmare. He has apparently been aroused and alarmed for a very long time, for he claims to have spent much of the last 25 years on research for the book.
