A Balanced Book Of Japans Policy's During The War,
By A Customer
This review is from: Japanese Prisoners of War (Hardcover)
I confess when I bought this book I made the mistake of judging the book by the cover. From the title and cover I was expecting to read more about the POW's treatment.In fact, what the book offers you is a detailed account of the chain of circumstances that came to decide how the Japanese viewed not just POW's, but other races around the world. The fact that this book contains eleven essays from a number of different authors both Western and Japanese ensures impartiality. It also points out a number of interesting facts, for example that Japan in 1919 asked for declaration of racial equality to be included in the League of Nations, this was vetoed by Europe & America. Although I enjoyed this book and would recommend it to anyone interest in WWII, it did not quite match up to 'Hell in The Pacific' by Jonathan Lewis. But if you have already read that book and are looking for more info, then this could be the book for you. However this is a good book, which will give you a better understanding of Japanese policy's during the war.
