| Summary, Etc. |
- Summary, etc. - Re-examining the trial of General Tomoyuki Yamashita, from the perspective of a career lawyer and professor of law. Ryan looks at the legal issues involved, from the presentation of affidavits and witnesses, to the problem of command responsibility and jurisdiction of military courts. Ryan, who has written another book on American war crimes trials of Germans and teaches law of war at Harvard, has eminent legal credentials; however this also limits his perspective (alternative Japanese sources, and massacre survivors, for example, were not consulted). - Prof. Ricardo T. Jose
