Japan At War In Color

Until recently it had been assumed that no color photographs existed in Japan until the victorious US forces arrived in 1945. However, following a yearlong research project, an extraordinary color record began to emerge. Now in Japan's War in Color, rare and never-before-seen photographs reveal imperial Japanese troops in Manchuria in 1931, preparations for war in 1939, occupation troops in 1940 and the Japanese war machines in action throughout the second World War including extremely rare color photographs of the attack on Pearl Harbor.

Author David Batty is the producer of the Japan's War in Color television series. He is also a director who has worked on highly acclaimed programs and high-profile documentaries, including a series about the Royal Family: The Real Queen, The Real Prince Charles, The Real Queen Mother, and The Real Prince Philip.
