- Curator's comments
- A catalogue of Japanese success in East Asia. Images of Pearl Harbour, the fall of Hong Kong and Singapore paint a picture of Japanese invincibility. None of the images are credited to individual photographers. The title-vignette reproduces the famous photographic mural entitled 'Fight to the End' (Uchiteshi yamamu). Only two volumes of this series were issued, the first in the previous year. Only two copies in OCLC. (Titus Boeder, 4/2007)
Includes a photograph of Wang Jingwei delivering a speech (compare 2015,3025.1).
