Department of Political and Social Change Seminar Series
In a new book, Twelve Japanese War Criminals and One Who Got Away (University of Hawai'i Press), Robert Cribb (ANU) and Sandra Wilson (Murdoch University) seek to explain Japanese war crimes by looking at individual cases. They trace the varied stories of twelve men and women convicted of war crimes in Allied trials after the war, as well as one — possibly the worst of them all — who evaded arrest and trial.
Speaker
Robert Cribb is Emeritus Professor of Asian History at the Australian National University. His research has focused on the place of violence in Indonesian history, with special attention to the revolution of 1945–49 and the mass killing of communists in 1965–66. In recent years, he has been working with Sandra Wilson (Murdoch University) on Japanese war crimes and Allied war crimes trials in Southeast Asia.
Chair
Dr. Katrin Travouillon.
