Hardcover. Condition: Good. Second printing [stated]. 284 pages. Boards somewhat soiled and edges rubbed, This is a story of the Japanese occupation of Manchuria before and during World War II. "Bushido," was written in the United States by a Russian-born Jewish refugee from France, Ossip Alexandre Joseph Pernikoff (18941952). This work provides sensational reporting on Japanese occupation tactics. Japan's Kwantung Army invaded the Manchuria region of China on 18 September 1931, immediately following the Mukden incident, a false flag event staged by Japanese military personnel as a pretext to invade. At the war's end in February 1932, the Japanese established the puppet state of Manchukuo. The occupation lasted until mid-August 1945, towards the end of the Second World War, in the face of an onslaught by the Soviet Union and Mongolia during the Manchurian Strategic Offensive Operation. With the invasion having attracted great international attention, the League of Nations produced the Lytton Commission (headed by British politician Victor Bulwer-Lytton) to evaluate the situation, with the organization delivering its findings in October 1932. Its findings and recommendations that the Japanese puppet state of Manchukuo not be recognized and the return of Manchuria to Chinese sovereignty prompted the Japanese government to withdraw from the League entirely.
