Abstrakt: In the first chapter, Mark Caprio looks at the American occupation of what became the Republic of Korea, with special reference to the Korean diasporic community and the American decision to make use of first Japanese bureaucrats and then Koreans who had collaborated with the Japanese colonial regime. The book's second section addresses the fall and rise of elements of the Japanese military and a key post-war Japanese politician. This included non-Han Chinese within China who collaborated with the Japanese as well as ethnic Chinese emigres residing in northern Vietnam, where Chinese forces accepted the Japanese surrender.
