ep. 230 - Cute Fascism: The Making of Modern Japan w. Eyes Wide Open

Was Japan destined to be fascist? Eyes Wide Open joins us to talk about his 10-part series on the rise of fascism in modern Japan. The series explores the dissolution of feudal Japan and the subsequent rise of its extraordinarily bloody imperialism. Japan is the focal point of the oft ignored anticommunist efforts during the cold war in Asia. And don't forget to sign up for the next book club: God Forgives, Brothers Don't, which will be hosted by its author Jasper Craven on August 25th.
