Based for the most part on a wealth of unpublished sources - memories, letters, reports and diaries - this fascinating account shows the vast differences experienced by westerners living in Japan during those years: the charm and courtesy of 'old' Japan already under threat from the course on which the country's military leaders were set. For the writer, as a child, the move in 1941 from Japan was traumatic, as she lost her home, and from that time lived in a world where Japan was the enemy. So this is a tale of two Japans, of the peaceful Japan that she knew and loved, and of the military Japan that brought disaster on itself and on the world.
