Kempeitai : Japan's dreaded military police
The Kempeitai, Japan's secret military police and counter-espionage service, were held in justifiable dread in the military occupied territories of what the Japanese called the Dai Toa Kyozonken (Great East Asia Co-Existence Sphere - a euphemism for Japanese-occupied territories) of the Second World War empire. This book sheds new light on this little-known but greatly feared organ of repression, and will appeal in particular to students of Axis history, and to all with an interest in the Second World War in general. Includes bibliographical references (pages 176-178) and index. ix, 182 pages : illustrations, maps ; 24 cm
