Japanese apologies for World War II

Description:

"This study combines rhetorical, sociological, and historical approaches to address multiple examples of Japanese apology in the postwar period, with a particular emphasis on apologies between 1984 and 1995. Unlike most rhetorical studies that focus on apologia in the broad sense, this study focuses on the "true apology," that is, acknowledgment of wrongdoing and regret."--BOOK JACKET.
