Читать книгу Chojun - Goran Powell - Страница 3

Most characters in Chojun are fictitious, but in the case of Chojun Miyagi himself, the major events described are true and only the dates have been changed to fit the narrative. The Battle of Okinawa is also accurately portrayed, as are the real-life characters of the officers in charge of the Japanese army: Lieutenant General Ushijima, Major General Cho, and Colonel Yahara. The events described in post-war Okinawa are fictitious, but reflect similar happenings during the American occupation that lasted until 1972.

More details on the thin line between fact and fiction can be found in the historical notes at the back.
