Opis

This book describes the legal situation which arises during occupation when private property is temporarily used, annexed, or destroyed by the occupying force. It addresses what happens to property after occupation is terminated and the issues of restitution and compensation. The author focuses on the postwar occupation of Japan by American forces, a period about which little has been written, and is of great interest to international lawyers and modern historians.
