- Summary:
- The opening chapter outlines the themes of the book: the cultural trauma of defeat in 1945, and its pervasive influence on the narratives that are told and retold to future generations. With the burgeoning 'memory boom' since the 1980s and intensified globalisation, Japan's efforts to define its remembrance of war have been increasingly called into question.
