"This present study, originally published in a shorter Japanese version under the title Shirarezaru Senso Hanzai (Unknown war crimes), breaks from the postwar and cold war mold in several ways. It addresses the issue of "ordinary" Japanese war crimes through a series of excruciatingly detailed case studies...Few recent books have been as relentless as this in recreating the horror of Japnese war crimes. For many readers, however, the greatest shock may lie in discovering that many of the individuals who committed these atrocities were simply ordinary men in extraordinary circumstances-- manipulated by their leaders and dehumanized by the very nature of war itself. Their acts become all the more horrible when we no longer can regard them as having bee committed by people utterly unlike ourselves." -Excerpts from the Foreword.
