Description
Published in December 1944 (Showa 19) by the Japan Press Bureau (Nihon Hodosha), this wartime book was written by Kenji Morikawa, a Japanese Army war correspondent assigned to the South Pacific Front.
Printed in a limited run of 5,000 copies, it was issued under Japan’s strict wartime information control system.
The book vividly documents front-line experiences and battle conditions across the South Pacific islands — such as Saipan, Guam, and Palau — during the later stages of the Pacific War.
Combining field journalism and state-directed reporting, it provides a rare primary source of Imperial Army propaganda and wartime morale literature from 1944.
Includes numerous photo pages depicting tropical battlefields, daily life of soldiers, and press corps activities.
A valuable resource for researchers and collectors interested in WW2 Japanese military reporting, propaganda, and Pacific campaigns.
