"""Absorbing research and smoothly engaging prose... Fruhstuck traces all this with intriguing historical snapshots, which alone make the book worthwhile."" * Japan Times * ""Playing War is a must read for its inclusion of the child in the discourse of the nation and for helping us to understand, and perhaps to push back against, the intractability of the idea of eternal war."" * Journal of Japanese Studies * ""Wastes not one word. . . . offers us an invaluable opportunity in our own precarious historical moment to examine the powerful pull and troubling consequences of bromides that normalize relationships between children and militarism."" * Monumenta Nipponica *"
