Using specific examples from Dower’s book, describe the complex perception of the Japanese as both aggressors and victims in the framework of that country’s early postwar period.
Why is quantifying war, especially human casualties, a difficult and imperfect task, according to the author? You may examine this question in a comparative framework by bringing in additional information about World War II in the European theater or other relevant military conflicts.
