Tokyo Trial: for World Peace
by Cheng Zhaoqi
About This Novel
After the end of World War II, the "Trial of the Century" was held in Tokyo, Japan, from May 3, 1946 to November 12, 1948. Judges from 11 Allied countries formed the International Military Tribunal for the Far East to conduct trials against Japanese Class-A war criminals to liquidate their war crimes. Although many years have passed since the Tokyo Trial, the legal legacy left to the international community is cherished by all countries. Over the years, discussions in the international political, historical, and legal circles surrounding the historical contribution and limitations of the Tokyo Trial have also attracted widespread attention from all walks of life. After 818 hearings, the court confirmed that Japan's Class A war criminals committed countless crimes: using censorship and police repression in Japan to promote foreign expansion plans to the people and vigorously promote militaristic policies; committing heinous crimes against the Chinese people, supporting the "Puppet Manchukuo", launching the "Marco Bridge Incident", and creating the appalling Nanjing Massacre; actively establishing the Axis alliance; invading Southeast Asian countries; attacking Pearl Harbor... What legal dilemmas and challenges does the Tokyo Trial itself face? How can the trial team overcome the delaying tactics implemented by the defense based on the Anglo-American procedural rules? Can the leaders, planners and implementers of war be held personally criminally responsible? ... The author of this book, Cheng Zhaoqi, is the director of the Tokyo Trial Research Center and can be described as the "first person to write about the Tokyo Trial" in China. From a professional Tokyo Trial research perspective, combined with first-hand historical materials collected from around the world over many years, this book presents readers with the most authoritative and informative treatise on the Tokyo Trial. Defend justice and remember history.
