This book explores the profound influence of Zen Buddhist–linked terrorism in modern Japan. Brian Victoria follows a band of Zen Buddhist–trained adherents who ardently believed in their mission to carry out political assassinations in the 1930s, facilitating Japan’s transformation into a totalitarian state and setting the stage for Pearl Harbor.
Brian Daizen Victoria, a fully ordained Soto Zen priest, is currently a senior research fellow at the Oxford Centre for Buddhist Studies. His publications include Zen at War and Zen War Stories. Zen Terror in Prewar Japan is the third book in the trilogy.
