About This Item
Sutton Publishing, 1998. Hardcover. Very good/very good. x, 182 p. Illustrations. Map. Chronology. Glossary. Bibliography. Index. Like the Nazis' SS, Japan's Kempeitai, or secret military police and counter-espionage service, was feared and hated in Japanese-occupied territories. They possessed wide powers which they employed ruthlessly with their willing ethnic collaborators to force captive nations--from Manchuria to Singapore--into submissiveness. The book examines the origins of the Kempeitai in the Japanese military police and Secret Service, its growth, its recruitment and training, its structure and duties, military philosophy, and influence. Through the first-hand accounts of former Kempeitai members and their victims, the author brings to life the brutal nature of the much feared organization, tracing its fate and that of individual members who were assimilated into postwar Japanese economic and political life.
