Japan's Militant Teachers is the first comprehensive English-language 
analysis of the origin and development of the fundamental issues in this
 struggle. It is an objective approach to the history of the teacher's 
movement from its prewar conception, through the birth of Nikkyoso in 
1947, to that union's present strength encompassing a large majority of 
all public school teachers. It is significant that this study was 
undertaken by a non-Japanese. Professor Duke was accepted with full 
confidence by all parties in the dispute. His study includes material 
obtained from many firsthand interviews conducted between 1968 and 1970 
with the leaders of Nikkyoso and government representatives form the 
Ministry of Education. He has thus been able to present an objective 
accounting without passing judgement.<br><br>This book examines the 
problems of Nikkyoso within the greater context of Japanese society. It 
is a good introduction to, and analysis of, the problems facing 
organized teacher' movements as well as the problems facing Japanese 
education as a whole.
