The Knights of Bushido A Short History of Japanese War Crimes During World War II
Author: Lord Russell of Liverpool, Lord Russell of Liverpool
"A stark reminder of the dangers of appeasement and pacifism in the face of a fanatical and nondemocratic enemy."?Military Review — The war crimes trials at Nuremberg and Tokyo meted out the Allies' official justice; Lord Russell of Liverpool's sensational bestselling books on the Axis's war crimes decided the public's opinion. T...  more », Russell's shocking account of Japanese brutality in the Pacific in World War II, describes how the noble founding principles of the Empire of Japan were perverted by the military into a systematic campaign of torture, murder, starvation, rape, and destruction. Notorious incidents like the Nanking Massacre and the Bataan Death March emerge as merely part of a pattern of human rights abuses. Undoubtedly formidable soldiers, the Japanese were terrible conquerors. Their conduct in the Pacific is a harrowing example of the doctrine of mutual destruction carried to the extreme, and begs the question of what is acceptable?and unacceptable?in total war. 37 b/w illustrations.
