"Senso comes as close to anything I have seen to solving the mystery of obsessive Japanese reticence, even among themselves, about their war experience. ... Reading Gibney's English-language version of Senso convinces me of what I have long suspected: that the Japanese buried memories of the war not so they could live with outsiders but so they could live with one another". -- The Australian

Review:
"In 1986 and 1987 the Asahi Shimbun solicited reminiscences of the war from its readers. The newspaper received over 4,000 letters. The Gibney-Cary translation of a selection has attained the status of a classic. They reveal many things, not least that the Japanese know full well what they did during the war, whether their politicians want to acknowledge it or not." - Chalmers Johnson, author of MITI and the Japanese Miracle"
