Liisa M.'s book (1995) apparently lays the foundation for her town v. camp refugee characterization; the 'jacket quote' is at this link -- http://www.press.uchicago.edu/cgi-bin/hfs.cgi/00/12818.ctl -- and gives a bit more flavor. It certainly is thought provoking!

After WW II, in the 1950's, groups and individuals of the Japanese military were found who refused to believe Japan had lost the war. Invariably, they lived in isolated areas and considered loyalty to Japan as their primary reason for living. This in the face of what reasonable folks would call solid evidence to the contrary.
