Illustrated with photos and textbook extracts, this volume will be widely read and used by Japan specialists as well as all scholars and general readers concerned with issues of academic freedom and war and peace.

One was the fight against the relocation of Tokyo University of Education to a research city outside Tokyo; the other was the fight against certification.
