Tachibana Takashi (b. 1940 and himself a graduate of Tokyo University) traces the relations between the Japanese imperial state and Tokyo University, its showcase educational institution. He focuses on the era 1930-1945, including rightist politics, war mobilization, Pearl Harbor, and utter defeat. He describes attacks on the university’s patriotism by outside and inside agitators, factional fighting within the university (his focus is on the faculties of Economics and Law), collaborationism or the retreat into silence of many faculty. He lauds the heroism of the few who dissented, some of whom (Nambara Shigeru, Tanaka Kōtarō, Yanaihara Tadao) went on to play major roles in Japan’s postwar era.
