Pennington maps the terrain of Japanese military medicine and social welfare programs, drawing on Japanese-language primary sources and the memoir of a soldier who describes in detail his medical evacuation from a front-line casualty clearing station and his rehabilitation at a military hospital. He documents how, after Japan's defeat, the same men who had been celebrated as \"white-robed heroes\" during the war became an embarrassment to a society eager to distance itself from its military past — forgotten twice, first by postwar public memory and then by Western historiography.
