This cultural history of the Japanese home front during the Asia-Pacific War challenges ideas of the period as one of unrelenting repression. Uchiyama demonstrates that 'carnival war' coexisted with the demands of total war to promote consumerist desire alongside sacrifice and fantasy alongside nightmare, helping mobilize the war effort.
Introduction; 1. The reporter; 2. The munitions worker; 3. The soldier; 4. The movie star; 5. The youth aviator; Conclusion.
