Japanese translation of the German text "Zionism, the Enemy of the State" written by the arch Nazi ideologue, Alfred Rosenberg in 1922. Although deeply allied with Nazi Germany, the majority of Japanese political, diplomatic, and military leadership generally did not embrace the philosophical, theological, racial, or pseudo-scientific basis that underpinned Western versions of anti-Semitism. On the other hand, many Japanese officials appear to have been impressed enough by the claims of Jewish worldwide political and economic influence to try to use it to Japan's advantage.
