ISBN-13: 9780306811784, 978-0306811784. During the First World War, the Japanese fought on the side of the Allies and treated German POWs with respect and civility. On the basis of never-before-published interviews with both the victimizers and the victimized, and drawing on never-before-revealed or long-ignored archival records, Rees discloses the full horror of the war in the Pacific, probing the supposed Japanese belief in their own racial superiority, analyzing a military that believed suicide to be more honorable than surrender, and providing what the Guardian calls "a powerful, harrowing account of appalling inhumanity.impeccably researched.".
