Synopsis
This book documents for the first time previously hidden Japanese atrocities in World War II, including cannibalism; the slaughter and starvation of prisoners of war; the rape, enforced prostitution,, This book documents for the first time previously hidden Japanese atrocities in World War II, including cannibalism; the slaughter and starvation of prisoners of war; the rape, enforced prostitution, and murder of noncombatants; and biological warfare experiments.The author describes how desperate Japanese soldiers consumed the flesh of their own comrades killed in fighting as well as that of Australians, Pakistanis, and Indians. Another chapter traces the fate of 65 shipwrecked Australian nurses and British soldiers who were shot or stabbed to death by Japanese soldiers. Thirty-two other nurses, who landed on another island, were captured and sent to Sumatra to become "comfort women"--prostitutes for Japanese soldiers. Tanaka recounts how thousands of Australian and British POWs died in the infamous Sandakan camp in the Borneo jungle in 1945. Those who survived were forced to endure a tortuous 160-mile march on which anyone who dropped out of line was immediately shot. Only six escapees lived to tell the tale.Based on exhaustive research in previously closed archives, this book represents a landmark analysis of Japanese war crimes. The author explores individual atrocities in their broader social, psychological, and institutional milieu and places Japanese behavior during the war in the broader context of the dehumanization of men at war--without denying individual and national responsibility.

- h***h (1104)- Feedback left by buyer.Past 6 monthsVerified purchaseSuperb transaction. The set is in excellent condition and exceeds its "very good" description. Seller packaged the set very securely and tightly and boxed it well. It arrived in perfect condition. I think that for a rare 40-CD set, the pricing is very fair and honest. Since one can listen to only just so much Schubert lieder at a sitting, I have quite a few weeks of enjoyable discovery ahead of me. Thank you very much. I'm delighted to own the set.

- n***e (1788)- Feedback left by buyer.Past yearVerified purchaseThis seller’s a rare breed—like a vintage typewriter ribbon in a world of autocorrect. Lightning-fast shipping that’d make a cheetah question its life choices, and packaging so solid I’d trust it to cradle my dreams. Communication was sharper than a tax auditor’s pencil, yet oddly soothing, like a whisper from a benevolent moth. A transaction smoother than a jazz sax solo in an elevator. I’d bid on their aura if eBay allowed it—top-notch, truly.Who's Who in the Major Leagues Baseball 1947 1948 1951 (#235925518291)
