Reseña del editor
Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. The Kempeitai was the military police arm of the Imperial Japanese Army from 1881 to 1945. It was not an English-style military police, but was a French-style gendarmerie. Therefore, while it was institutionally a part of the Imperial Japanese Army, it also discharged the functions of the military police for the Imperial Japanese Navy under the direction of the Admiralty Minister (although the IJN had its own much smaller Tokkeitai), those of the executive police under the direction of the Interior Minister, and those of the judicial police under the direction of the Justice Minister. A member of the corps was called a kempei. In World War II Allied propaganda, the Kempeitai was often called the "Japanese Gestapo".
