The article focuses on the book "Nippon: The Crime and Punishment of Japan," by Willis Lamott. Lamott's thorough study of how the Japanese mind was molded during the thirties helps to discover how Japan got the way to Pearl Harbor, Hawaii. For one thing, the language barrier is too difficult for more than a handful of Westerners to cross. A psychological barrier also exists. The peculiar essences distilled from emperor worship lie outside the range of normal experience. Lamott has done an invaluable job of interpretation in this succinct handbook of Nipponese ideology.
