Fighting for the Enemy explores the participation of Koreans within the jap army and helping industries prior to and through global battle II, first via voluntary enlistment and at last via conscription. opposite to well known trust between Korean nationalists, this involvement was once no longer completely coerced. Brandon Palmer examines this ambiguous state of affairs within the context of Japan's long term colonial attempt to assimilate Koreans into eastern sociopolitical existence and records the various methods Koreans-short of overtly resisting-avoided complete cooperation with eastern conflict efforts.

Much media realization has been given to Japan's exploitation of "comfort ladies" in Korea and in different places in East Asia throughout the colonial interval, yet, before, there was no prolonged, goal research of the exploitation of the hundreds of thousands of younger Korean males who served in Japan's army and auxiliary occupations.
