Download or read book A Japanese Memoir of Sumatra, 1945-1946 written by Takao Fusayama and published by Equinox Publishing. This book was released on 2010 with total page 230 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One of our chief reservations in publishing the memoir lay in the author's description of it as a "documentary novel," but we discovered that the "fictions" in the narrative relate mainly to Dr. Fusayama's dramatization of the action by putting into direct speech his memories of the general tenor of his conversations with some of the major protagonists. As he notes in his Preface, he recorded his recollections immediately after his repatriation to Japan, and it is evident that his rendition of the events he witnessed are true to his perceptions at the time. --
