Multiple perspectives

I was also quite struck by getting to read and learn about the different perspective on the war in Japan. I've used primary sources from Japan in my teaching of World War II, but I didn't realize until we talked about it in class that my sources almost all come from the generals and admirals at the top, and not from the ordinary people living and fighting through the war. I'm looking forward to going through some of the resources that were shared with us to find more texts from the period for students to read that convey the full array of perspectives from people at all levels of society during the war.
