During World War II, Japan was the world's most militarized society and by 1945 nearly every Japanese male over the age of 10 wore some kind of military attire, as did the majority of women and girls. In this volume, Philip Jowett reveals the many military and civil-defense organizations active in wartime Japan, while specially commissioned artwork and carefully chosen archive photographs depict the appearance of the men, women, and children involved in the Japanese war effort in the Home Islands throughout World War II.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Osprey Publishing (UK)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/17\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781472845535\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 64","brand":"Philip Jowett","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40550832505013,"sku":"9781472845535","price":17.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/products\/img_79eb3f13-6b58-4177-8574-aa93e342eb8e.jpg?v=1626792590","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/the-japanese-home-front-1937-45-9781472845535","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
