内容简介:

Three weeks after Imperial Japanâ (TM)s surrender, five men dressed in baggy khaki uniforms stared at the camera. They and two colleagues were the only survivors out of the 210 Allied airmen which Imperial Japan had imprisoned in â oeparadise.â Joining them were 18 British soldiers, the only survivors of 600 of their countrymen similarly but separately imprisoned. Another 10,000 Allied soldiers and civilians were also imprisoned on the South Pacific island of New Britain. More than half died before liberation. What motivated such inhumane treatment? This bookâ (TM)s quest for an answer traces the genesis of Bushido, Imperial Japanâ (TM)s martial code, and surveys the prisonersâ (TM) recollections of their ordeal as the Battle for Rabaul raged around them from 1942 to March 1944.
