JASON M. MORGAN is associate professor at Reitaku University in Kashiwa, Japan. He is the translator of esteemed Japanese historian Hata Ikuhiko’s scholarly history of the comfort women, and is also the author of an intellectual biography of Japanese legal philosopher Suehiro Izutaro. Morgan is an editorial writer for the Sankei Shimbun newspaper in Tokyo, a managing editor at the news and opinion site JAPAN Forward, and a researcher at the Japan Forum for Strategic Studies in Tokyo, the Moralogy Foundation in Kashiwa, and the Historical Awareness Research Committee also in Kashiwa.
In this book, the authors detail both the history of the comfort women and their own persecution at the hands of their academic peers. Only in the West—and only through a brutal strategy of censorship and ostracism—has the myth of bayonet-point conscription survived.
