The books and articles describe a kind of alternative historical universe, one where Japan fought entirely nobly in World War II and in which its alleged
atrocities were invented by Chinese and Korean propagandists. The accounts differ sharply from those of mainstream historians, both in Japan and abroad.
One piece of literature that was featured for years was an essay by a former air force general, Toshio Tamogami, which won a prize in an APA-sponsored
contest in 2008. In it, Mr. Tamogami claimed that Japan had been duped into attacking the United States at Pearl Harbor in 1941, in a plot he said was
hatched by Communists inside the administration of President Franklin D. Roosevelt.
