World War Two, Asia and Ghosts – Spectral Goings-on around the 70th Anniversary

Posted: August 15th, 2015 | No Comments »

Just realised that I have inadvertently contributed to an outbreak of of spooky spectral behaviour in the media and among Asia-Watchers as we hit the 70th anniversary of World War Two. “Ghosts”, it seems, appear to be the theme everyone’s going for….

Here’s me in The Diplomat on The Lingering Ghosts of World War Two in Asia

CCTV went for Ghosts of World War Two Haunt East Asia

The Economist went for Asia’s Second World War Ghosts

India’s NDTV also went for Ghosts of World War Two Haunt Asia

America’s The National Interest went for The Ghosts of World War II are Persistent Things

Australia’s The Conversation went for the slightly odd The Living Ghosts of 1945 Haunt Asia’s Rival Powers (sorry, but aren’t ghosts dead by definition?)

And many, many more around online and still to come I imagine….
