The five pieces which make up this collection examine the experiences of the Malayan population under Japanese Occupation between early 1942 and August 1945. Abu Talib Ahmad discusses relations between the Japanese and Malay/Muslim population, while Yoji Akashi and Hara Fujio consider the Chinese population. The other two articles, by Patricia Lim Pui Huen and Henry Frei look at how the occupation is remembered in Japan and in Malaya. Taken as a whole, this volume offers a fresh look at the occupation and its consequences for the people of Malaya and of Japan.
"...[the essays} collectively stimulate questions about responsibility for wartime behavior and subsequent remembering (or forgetting) of that behavior"

"...the Asian focus redresses the balance which has hitherto been heavily tilted towards the more easily accessible western experience. "
