The Tokyo trial - the largely overlooked counterpart to Nuremberg - was an opportunity both to render judgment on the Allies' vanquished foes and to create a legal framework to prosecute war crimes and prohibit the use of aggressive war. For the Japanese leaders on trial, it was their chance to argue that their war had been waged to liberate Asia from Western imperialism and that the court was no more than victors' justice.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eJudgement at Tokyo\u003c\/i\u003e is a magnificent, riveting story of wartime action, dramatic courtroom battles, and the epic formative years of postwar Asia.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e'A comprehensive, landmark and riveting book' \u003c\/b\u003e- \u003ci\u003eThe Washington Post\u003c\/i\u003e, 'The 10 Best Books of 2023'\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e'Breathtakingly ambitious and unlikely to be bettered as a portrait of the trials and their place in postwar global history' \u003c\/b\u003e- \u003ci\u003eHistory Today\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003ch4\u003eAutorenportrait\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cdiv\u003eGary J.
