Maggiori informazioni sul libro
Japan’s Holocaust is a comprehensive exploration of Japan’s mass murder and sexual crimes during the Pacific and Asian Wars from 1927 to 1945. It combines research conducted in over eighteen research facilities in five nations to investigate Imperial Japan’s atrocities during its military expansions throughout Asia and the Pacific. The book presents recent scholarship and new primary research, revealing that Japan claimed a minimum of thirty million lives, slaughtering far more than Nazi Germany. It shows that Emperor Hirohito was aware of the atrocities committed by his forces and even ordered them, failing to intervene as they exceeded the limits of human depravity, exemplified by the Rape of Nanking. This event is portrayed as representative of Japan's conduct throughout its campaigns in Asia and the Pacific. Mass murder, rape, and economic exploitation were Japan’s modus operandi, and unlike Nazi Germany, which has made efforts to atone for its crimes, Japan has largely failed to address its wartime past and continues to glorify its actions and criminals.
