'In The Tokyo War Crimes Tribunal David Cohen and Yuma Totani, two of the most preeminent scholars on Japanese war crimes law and history, engage in the most thorough rebalancing of the legal analysis and historical appraisal of the tribunal yet to be undertaken.' Neil Boister, University of Canterbury, New Zealand 'A welcome new take on the Tokyo War Crimes Trials. Ironically, the freshness of this work rests in its classic framing. It studies the tribunal as a judicial process, examining the legal procedures by which evidence was presented and assessed. It offers a baseline for all future study of the tribunal.'
