Book Synopsis Zen Terror in Prewar Japan by : Brian Daizen Victoria
Book excerpt: This book explores the profound influence of Zen Buddhist-linked terrorism in modern Japan. Brian Victoria follows a band of Zen Buddhist-trained adherents who ardently believed in their mission to carry out political assassinations in the 1930s, facilitating Japan's transformation into a totalitarian state and setting the stage for Pearl Harbor.
