À propos de cet audio

 The war crimes trials at Nuremberg and Tokyo meted out the Allies' official justice; Lord Russell of Liverpool's sensational bestselling books on the Axis' war crimes decided the public's opinion. The Knights of Bushido, Russell's shocking account of Japanese brutality in the Pacific in World War II, describes how the noble founding principles of the Empire of Japan were perverted by the military into a systematic campaign of torture, murder, starvation, rape, and destruction. Notorious incidents like the Nanking Massacre and the Bataan Death March emerge as merely part of a pattern of human rights abuses. Undoubtedly formidable soldiers, the Japanese were terrible conquerors. Their conduct in the Pacific is a harrowing example of the doctrine of mutual destruction carried to the extreme, and begs the question of what is acceptable—and unacceptable—in total war.©2008 Skyhorse Publishing, Inc.

I had no idea just how cruel that the Japanese ww2 soldiers could stoop to. I learned so much from this book but some of it I wish I could unlearn.

Impossible behavior to understand

I can’t say for sure whether I like or dislike the actual writing. Perhaps better in text form. I listened to several chapters and then skipped ahead a chapter or two, hoping that the narrator would be less abrasive, but eventually abandoned the whole thing. I found the narrator too contrived sounding and basically- boring.
