Abstract

The article discusses concerns by historians in Japan and China that the government of Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe espouse revisionist views that deny Japan's war crimes. Topics addressed include Japanese Education Minister's alleged desire to revoke the verdicts of the Tokyo war crimes trials of 1946-1947, Abe's revival of the Education Rebuilding Council, and differing depictions of events such as the 1937-1938 Nanjing massacre in Japanese and Chinese textbooks.
