百田尚樹さんも絶賛されているように、戦争論が東京裁判史観に洗脳されていた日本人を、自虐史観から解放した意義、影響は素晴らしいものがありますね。
某教団の某総裁の東京裁判史観肯定の歴史観に影響を受けていた人の中には、戦争論で目覚めた人もいるのではないかなとも感じています。
小林さんや西尾さんを取り上げたニューヨークタイムズの記事には、こんな文章がありました。

Hironobu Kaneko, a 21-year-old college student, remembers the powerful emotions stirred in him three years ago when he read a best-selling book of cartoons that extolled, rather than denigrated, the history of Japan's former Imperial Army.
The thick cartoon book, or manga, is called ''On War'' and celebrates the old army as a noble Asian liberation force rather than a brutal colonizer. It lauds Japan's civilization as the oldest and most refined. And it dismisses as fictions well-documented atrocities, from the 1937 Nanjing massacre to the sexual enslavement of 200,000 so-called comfort women in World War II.
''This cartoon was saying exactly what we were all feeling back then,'' said Mr. Kaneko, an eager and articulate student who is spending his winter break working as an intern in the Japanese Parliament. ''The manga was addressing matters that many Japanese people have simply been avoiding, like we've been putting a lid over something smelly. I just felt it said things that needed to be said.''
Asked exactly what that message was, he said, ''That we should not be so masochistic about our history.'' ・・・・・・・・ ''Why should Japan be the only country that should teach kids -- 12- to 15-year-old kids -- bad things about itself?'' said Kanji Nishio, a leader of the Create New History group. ''I think it is ridiculous, and very sad and tragic that Japan cannot write its own patriotic history. We lost the war, and a fantasy was born that by talking bad about yourself, you can strengthen your position. I call that masochistic.''
Mr. Nishio, a professor of history at the University of Electro-Communications in Tokyo, has long been active in right-wing intellectual circles, but he never had much impact until his movement associated itself with Mr. Kobayashi and younger popular authors and celebrities.
Now he has become their guru, saying for example that China fabricated the Nanjing massacre to stir nationalist sentiment and that the United States deliberately snared Japan into war.
