This wartime political tract presents the full text of the alleged Tanaka Memorial, framed by Leon Trotsky and W. J. Thomas as Japan’s blueprint for imperial conquest across Asia and the Pacific. Positioned within the genre of propaganda and geopolitical analysis, the volume argues that Japan’s military expansion from Manchuria to the Pacific islands followed a deliberate strategy outlined in 1927 by Baron Tanaka, then Prime Minister. Trotsky introduces the document as a covert master plan for global domination, paralleling Hitler’s Mein Kampf in intent and scope, though cloaked in bureaucratic language and strategic ambiguity. The text outlines Japan’s objectives in China, Mongolia, and ultimately the United States, asserting that economic manipulation and diplomatic subterfuge were key instruments of aggression.
