Introduction -- Background : illusory empire and great migration campaign -- Ill-fated diaspora of Japanese farmer-settlers -- Early postwar era : repatriation of Japanese and international politics -- Plight of orphans during postwar era -- Initial search for orphans : volunteer groups and official missions -- Barriers to repatriation : reestablishing identity and domicile -- Barriers to repatriation : guarantor/receiver requirement -- Japanese women left behind in China -- Orphans' struggles for settlement -- Struggles of orphans' spouses and offspring -- New obstacles : retirement and pensions -- Class-action lawsuits -- Verdicts -- Conclusion : orphan issue and Sino-Japanese relations.

Japanese war orphans left behind in Manchuria at the end of World War II are forgotten victims of the war. These 5,000 children were trapped in the strained postwar Sino-Japanese relationship, grew up in China,were bullied as "little Japanese demons," and then were persecuted as "Japanese spies" during the Cultural Revolution. They experienced everyimaginable human atrocity: they were shot or stabbed with bayonets, witnessed group rape, massacres, and mass suicide, became displaced persons in an enemy country, and lost their identities. They endured what the American soldiers and the Guantanamo Bay Prison inmates combined encountered - near fatal injuries, post-traumatic stress disorder, interrogations, and torture. Upon delayed repatriation four decades later, theywere despised as "Chinese" in their homeland. This original book demonstrates that they are another group of victims of Japanese militarism, in addition to the Chinese and Korean "comfort women" and forced laborers. The orphan issue is an integral part of the Japanese government's war responsibility.
