The Knights of Bushido: A Short History of Japanese War Crimes

Russell of Liverpool, Lord

Verlag: Cassell & Company Ltd, London, 1958

"Twelve years after the end of the war, the actions of the Japanese, who regarded the mass torture and bestial degradation of the white races as a national privilege, have been largely forgotten - except by those few who, by a miracle, survived. This book is a report, with no suggestion of sensationalism, of documented records of Japanese atrocities given in evidence at Japanese war crime trials and before the International Military Tribunal, Far East. It is introduced by a brief history of Japanese Imperialism culminating in the Japanese war of 1931 - 1945 when Japanese troops slaughtered civilians, sacked and pillaged with a barbarity unknown since the Middle Ages." --- Original black cloth boards, lettered red on spine (20.4 cm height). Illustrated dustwrapper, price-clipped, chipped at head of spine, now protected. Pp. 335 including Acknowledgements, Appendix: Some Legal Aspects of War Crime Trials, Index. With footnotes. 24 pages of halftone illustrations. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers 021007
