This book was published in February 1969, when the University of Tokyo conflict was coming to an end, and the title "Emergency Special Report" reflects the still-excited situation. Various movements and struggles took place in the 1960s, such as the Japan-US Security Treaty and the opposition to the Vietnam War, and one symbol of these was the University of Tokyo conflict, and the clash between riot police and students barricaded in the Yasuda Auditorium of the University of Tokyo, which is also on the cover of this book, was a major shock to society. This book mainly includes articles on conflict reports at the University of Tokyo and Nihon University, as well as contributions from journalist Soichi Oya. With a large number of illustrations, typical of a graphic magazine, the book is mainly black and white, but the opening pages are also in color, making it a rich resource. "University disputes are unfolding across the country at as many as 60 schools, and are only escalating. The University of Tokyo dispute, which began with the medical school issue, has already begun to take on the appearance of a political struggle on the campus stage. Other issues include Nihon University's pursuit of 2 billion yen of unaccounted funds, Kyushu University's jet plane crash, and relocation issues, but they all make the 'crisis of universities' very clear" (from the text).
