Imperial Way Faction - Political environment.
The origins of this party in the 1920s saw the last of the old-style samurai officers going and a new radical breed taking their place in the Japanese military.

The Army became divided between the Kodaha (Imperial B ...

| | | | Kempeitai: Encyclopedia II - Imperial Way Faction - Circumstances that allowed the Japanese military to gain political power In a close to chaotic political (and economic and social) situation, the military were considered politically "clean" in terms of political corruption, and assumed responsibility for 'restoring' the security of the nation.

They were also, by their composition, closely aware of the effects of economic depression on the middle and lower classes ...

Japanese occupation of Hong Kong - Life in fear.
The Japanese enforced a repatriation policy throughout the period of occupation because of the scarcity of food and the possible counter-attack of the Allies.

| | | | Kempeitai: Encyclopedia II - History of Singapore - Republic of Singapore 1965 – present Immediately after independence, the tiny island nation of Singapore seemed extremely inadequate to survive by itself; much of the international media were sceptical of prospects for her survival. The pressing issues were unemployment, housing, education, lack of natural resources and lack of land. The unemployment rate, ranging between 10-12%, became an extremely thorny issue. The loss of access to the Malaysian hinterland and the lack of natural resources meant that Singapore had no solid traditional sources of income. A large portion of th ...

Anthony Burgess - Work methods.
"I start at the beginning, go to the end, then stop," Burgess once said. He revealed in Martin Seymour-Smith's Novels and Novelists: A Guide to the World of Fiction (1980) that he would often prepare a synopsis with a name-list before beginning a project. But Seymour-Smith wrote: "Burgess believes overplanning is fatal to creativity and regards his unconscious mind and the act of writing itself as indispensable guides. He does not produce a draft of a whole novel which ...
