War, Conflict and Security in Japan and Asia Pacific, 1941-1952
It was Louis Allen's work on Japan which dominated his prodigious output as a scholar, researcher and writer and which received greatest attention internationally. This collection of his writings focuses entirely on his principal fields of research, viz, Japan and the Pacific War, the post-war conflicts in Burma, Malaya and Indochina, and the immediate post-war years in the context of Japan, security and reconciliation. Importantly, in addition t…
Burma
Louis Allen was a brilliant lecturer, who, over the years, at conferences, seminars and other academic gatherings, delivered papers which were informative, provocative, often entertaining, and revealed always enormous knowledge of and infectious enthusiasm for the topic under consideration. His last performance, the paper on Burma: The Longest War, which he presented from his wheelchair at the Imperial War Museum on 5 December 1991 was vintage Lo…

The Peasant Soul of Japan
A book concerning the Japanese identity in which the author theorizes that the national mentality is a dichotomy between the "equestrian" and the "peasant". He draws on Japanese and European classical
Japanese Intelligence Systems
This article is no more than a preliminary canter. The history and ramifications of Japanese intelligence systems, up to and including the second world war, would occupy several volumes of the official history published since 1966 under the auspices of the Defence Agency. No such volumes have appeared, nor are they likely to, and although a reasonably adequate history could be written from sources outside Japan, it would inevitably be full of gap…
Burma, The Longest War
The Artists and Their Work
No one knows when or where Aboriginal painting began. There is some agreement that the Australian Aborigines came from a Veddoid ancestry originating in South India and Ceylon. Since the term Vedda is derived from the Sanskrit Vyadha, meaning a hunter or one who lives from the chase, we can assume that this also was originally a hunting culture. There is evidence that these hunters made paintings in caves, using ashes and turmeric mixed with spit…

Prisoner of the British
The Mastery of Management
The Destiny of French Catholicism
One may well wonder whether contemporary civilization does not create a type of man impervious to religious feeling.' This sentence from the preface to M. Dansette's book sets the general tone of the work, which is to show how this generalization applies in particular to France, and what the French Church is doing about it. Using the techniques of sociology applied to religious data, undertaken first by a professor of Canon Law, Gabriel Le Bras, …

Yes I Said Yes I Will Yes
While I, brought up to scoff rather than blessAnd to say No, unless the facts requireA neutral verdict, for this once say Yes.'(Louis MacNeice, Autumn Sequel.)When the Mongols conquered Mesopotamia in 1401, they erected a triumphal monument with the skulls of the hundred thousand inhabitants of Baghdad who had not defended themselves.'

Gide and the Epistle to the Romans
Most of you will have seen, several years ago, André Labarthe's film entitled La Vie commence demain, a film which speculated in quite a fascinating way on the future of the human race by seeing it through the eyes of certain great Frenchmen. A perhaps excessively ingenuous young man, played by Jean-Pierre Aumont, puts questions to them, and their answers and what they are doing when he visits them reveal the way the world is supposed to be devel…
Carry on Calepin
There's nothing very poetic about the title 'XVIIIe arrondissement', but it contains districts with a claim to poetic nomenclature as strong as that of the Rue du Chat qui peche or The Land of Green Ginger. One of them is the area called la Goutte d'Or, though its surroundings are far from rich and far from poetic. It is, in fact, one of the many Arab ghettos of Paris, a violent, rowdy, and unsalubrious spot, where North African labourers try to …
The Case of the Abbé Barreau
If I were very irreverent, and had thoughts only of a world from which Coco Chanel and Maurice Chevalier have disappeared, I'm not sure I ought to take with desperate seriousness the defection of one young clergyman from the ranks of Parisian ecclesiastics. Or is this being frivolous? In a sense, it is, because although there is something banal about the way in which the press here or in France seizes upon the marriage of a priest for a ready hea…
