Group Psychology Of The Japanese in Wartime 
by Toshio Iritani (Author)  

First published in 1991.

This period is one of the most turbulent in the nation's history: it saw the rise of fascism and militarism which led to confrontation and conflict with countries which stood for democracy, liberty and freedom.
