About this product

Product Information

An eye-opening account of horrifying war crimes that went unpunished - in occupied Japan, a routine investigation by American authorities led to the shocking discovery that 39 American POWs had been beheaded. Eight others, survivors of an American bomber shot down in 1945, had suffered an even worse fate at the hands of Japanese scientists.

Freelance writer and reporter Landas takes a look at the horrific deaths of dozens of American POWs during the last few months of World War II.  Beyond the more widely reported horrors of the Bataan Death March, 39 of these men were beheaded by the Japanese in retaliation for American bombings and the surrender by the emperor.  Eight more were used in medical experiments: dissected while still alive or subjected to the pumping of seawater into their veins.  Landas follows the lengthy investigation into these grisly deaths and the subsequent war crimes trials.  Finally, he shows that most of those found guilty of the atrocities were set free for political reasons as the Cold War heated up and the United States needed a friendly Japanese government.  A timely effort, this well-written book is highly recommended for both public and academic libraries. - Charles M. Minyard (ret.), U.S. Army, Blountstown, FL ( Library Journal , July 2004), "A timely effort, this well-written book is highly recommended for both public and academic libraries."
