Yeah my mate had a copy of the book. This is why there's still a bit of bad blood between Japan and China. It got stirred up again a couple of years ago when koizumi visited the veterans' shrine.
I haven't even heard of this before now :confused:
Mental stuff.

so much of japanese history is like that :stongue:
they were a completely insane imperial power...
the stuff they did to both china and korea during the last 200 years... no wonder both korea and china still hate japan.. :p
i still like the khmer rhouge stuff with pol pot killing a quarter of his population then being funded by the US...
"The Khmer Rouge, still led by Pol Pot, was the strongest of the three rebel groups in the government, and received extensive military aid from China, Britain and the United States and intelligence from the Thai military. Western secret services also trained the Khmer Rouge in military camps in Thailand and Malaysia. Eastern and central Cambodia were firmly under the control of Vietnam and its Cambodian allies by 1980, while the western part of the country continued to be a battlefield throughout the 1980s, and millions of landmines were sown across the countryside."
maybe they'll think twice before starting a war again.

I don’t need some barely-literate revisionist trying to give me lessons on WW2.
The nuclear issue aside, if you think there are examples of allied (apart from russian) war crimes that are comparable to what the japanese, germans and russians got up to then you need to go back to school.

The Russians are still doing it thank you very much... I'll not have you denigrate the abusive skills of my people!

The vanquished are always criminals. Or is crime the province of the vanquished? Has to be something like that.
