Her book draws on extensive research in both published and archival documents, including memoirs, newspaper and journal articles, political pamphlets, and Comintern archives. \u003ci\u003eRevolution Goes East\u003c\/i\u003e presents us with a compelling argument that the interwar Japanese Left replicated the Orientalist outlook of Marxism-Leninism in its relationship with the rest of Asia, and that this proved to be its undoing. Furthermore, Linkhoeva shows that Japanese imperial anticommunism was based on geopolitical interests for the stability of the empire rather than on fear of communist ideology.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThanks to generous funding from New York University and its participation in TOME (Toward an Open Monograph Ecosystem), the ebook editions of this book are available as Open Access (OA) volumes from Cornell Open (cornellpress.cornell.edu\/cornell-open) and other repositories.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Atlantic Books","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46455642062999,"sku":"9781501748080","price":4210.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9781501748080.webp?v=1769175625","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/revolution-goes-east-imperial-japan-and-soviet-communism-9781501748080","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
