Depicted against his trademark photorealistic backdrops Mizuki effortlessly portrays a nation forced into a period of upheaval and brings history into the realm of the personal. Indeed as a child coming of age in the Showa era the author's earliest memories coincide with key events of the time. It all begins with the Great Kanto Earthquake a natural disaster that forces the country into a financial crisis. The period leading up to World War II is thus a time of economic hardship and record unemployment. Forthright descriptions of ensuing militarization reveal Mizuki's lifelong stance as a thoughtful pacifist critical of domestically disputed events like the Nanjing Massacre clearly painted here as an atrocity. This first volume in a four - part series is a captivating historical portrait tracking the industrial and societal developments that would come to shape Japan's foreign policy in the interwar period.\u003cbr\u003e\nTitle: Showa 1926 - 1939 A History Of Japan\u003cbr\u003e\nAuthor(s): Mizuki Shigeru\u003cbr\u003e\nPublisher: Drawn And Quarterly\u003cbr\u003e\nBarcode: 9781770466258\u003cbr\u003e\nPages: 560 Pages, Black-And-White Illustrations Throughout\u003cbr\u003e\nPublication Date: 10\/11\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\nCategory: 20th Century History: C 1900 To C 2000","brand":"Mizuki Shigeru","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49623136010545,"sku":"IN-G-9781770466258","price":23.43,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0644\/6759\/9594\/files\/9781770466258.jpg?v=1724776808","url":"https:\/\/bookdelivered.com\/products\/9781770466258-showa-1926-1939-a-history-of-japan","provider":"Book Delivered","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
