On the 13th of November 1942, the Japanese Destroyer Akatsuki was sunk off the coast of Guadalcanal.

Tensions rise and snap; a riot breaks-out and 48 Japanese POWs are killed by gunfire from New Zealand guards. Shinya's personal war continues, as he struggles with the ultimate crime against Japan: to die is honour; to live is to cease to exist. Through the kindness of a New Zealand padre, Shinya confronts his ghosts and is changed forever.

A History of Japan
Author: Kenneth Henshall
Publisher: Springer
ISBN: 0230346626
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 304
Book Description
Japan's impact on the modern world has been enormous. It occupies just one 300th of the planet's land area, yet came to wield one sixth of the world's economic power. Just 150 years ago it was an obscure land of paddy fields and feudal despots. Within 50 years it became a major imperial power – it's so-called 'First Miracle'. After defeat in the Second World War, when Japan came close to annihilation, within 25 years it recovered remarkably to become the world's third biggest economy – it's 'Second Miracle'. It is now not only an economic superpower, but also a technological and cultural superpower. True miracles have no explanation: Japan's 'miracles' do. The nation's success lies in deeply ingrained historical values, such as a pragmatic determination to succeed. The world can learn much from Japan, and its story is told in these pages. Covering the full sweep of Japanese history, from ancient to contemporary, this book explores Japan's enormous impact on the modern world, and how vital it is to examine the past and culture of the country in order to full understand its achievements and responses. Now in its third edition, this book is usefully updated and revised.
