Though select pages are missing, this is a near-complete collection of transcripts of the International Military Tribunal for the Far East's war crimes trial in Tokyo from 1946 to 1948. It presents the historical context for the trial as well as the court proceedings and verdicts. The individuals on trial were Sadao Araki, Kenji Doihara, Kingoro Hashimoto, Shunroku Hata, Kiichiro Hiranuma, Kōki Hirota, Naoki Hoshino, Seishiro Itagaki, Okinori Kaya, Koichi Kido, Heitaro Kimura, Kuniaki Koiso, Iwane Matsue, Yosuke Matsuoka, Jiro Minami, Akira Muto, Osami Nagano, Takasumi Oka, Shumei Okawa, Hiroshi Ōshima, Kenryo Sato, Mamoru Shigemitsu, Shigetaro Shimada, Toshio Shiratori, Teiichi Suzuki, Shiegenori Togo, Hideki Tōjō, and Yoshijiro Umezu. These individuals were indicted on three counts: Crimes against Peace; Murder; and Conventional War Crimes and Crimes against Humanity. Civilian propagandist, Emperor Hirohito was not indicted. The transcripts shed light on the international law employed at the time, the cultural differences and conflicts which plagued the trial, the war crimes committed, the treatment of prisoners of war, and the political and international climate immediately following World War II.
