A truly horrifying look at the atrocities committed by Japan in WW2. The stories are heartbreaking and need to be told. The first hand accounts makes the novel more personal. A good read for the historical enthiauist.

Thank you to #NetGalley for the ARC in exchange for my honest opinion.

The Japanese were known for many of their wartime atrocities, but actually reading this book - it opened my eyes to things that I did not know before. The author is going to take you on a journey, giving you a look at what a Japanese soldier would do - and to welcome death. It was interesting. Having known some of the information through past classes, this book really lays out the total warfare and brutality that was committed during the war.

Good read, but had to read in short bursts. Still will highly recommend this one!
