Ienaga, Saburo

Ienaga, Saburo
▪ 2003

      Japanese historian (b. Sept. 3, 1913, Nagoya, Japan—d. Nov. 29, 2002, Tokyo, Japan), waged a long-running battle with the Japanese Ministry of Education over his depiction in history textbooks of wartime atrocities committed by the Japanese. After having fought government censorship for more than three decades, Ienaga triumphed in a high-profile court case in 1997 when the Japanese Supreme Court ruled that the ministry had acted illegally when it suppressed descriptions in one textbook of the Japanese army's biological warfare experiments in China during World War II. Aside from writing numerous history texts, he published a memoir, Japan's Past, Japan's Future: One Historian's Odyssey, in 2001. He was also nominated for the 2001 Nobel Prize for Peace.
