Engineering War and Peace in Modern Japan
This Book examines the intricate relationship between engineering, war, and peace in modern Japan from 1868 to 1964. It explores how armed conflicts spurred technological advancements, particularly in military science, while highlighting the crucial role of engineering education in supporting these developments. The text reveals how the post-World War II Allied occupation aimed to demilitarize Japan, but also examines how former military engineers transitioned into civilian sectors, specifically focusing on their contributions to the Japanese National Railways (JNR). It highlights the tensions, innovations, and cultural shifts that accompanied this transition, demonstrating the complex interplay between military legacies and the pursuit of peaceful technological progress. Ultimately, the document illustrates how wartime experiences and expertise were repurposed for civilian applications, shaping Japan's postwar technological landscape.
