Reviews
'Victoria presents us with a carefully documented study.' - Japanese Journal of Religious Studies 'This case material comes with an accompanying critical commentary. This provocative book will interest those concerned with the ideology and psychology of late imperial Japan and the possible uses of Buddhism in justifying holy war.' -Journal of Military Ethics, 2003, This well researched and controversial book makes a deep impression. It raises crucially important questions about the relationship between religion and state as well as casting new light upon twentieth century Japanese history. That even Buddhism, in theory the most peaceful of creeds, could have been so extensively corrupted by a military agenda, gives one many insights into human nature, not least, by comparison, into the contemporary phenomenon of guerrilla fundamentalists and their crusading patriotic opponents. The book contains a wealth of fascinating original source material, a feature that not only brings home the reality of war and its moral dilemmas, but also, most importantly, enables the reader to draw his or her own conclusions. An excellent book. - Rev. David Brazier, affiliated with the Order of Amida Buddha, is author of New Buddhism
