Alison Parr talks to Chris about her interviews with soldiers, airmen, nurses and members of the NZ Women's Auxiliary Corps about life in the enemy territory between 1946 and 1948 - and how wartime hostility and distrust gave way to understanding of the Japanese people. The Occupiers, by Alison Parr, is published by Penguin.
