Warriors of the Rising Sun: A History of the Japanese Military Paperback - 1999
by Robert Edgerton
Throughout the Pacific theater of World War II, Allied prisoners were often starved, tortured, beheaded, even cannibalized by Japanese soldiers. Yet, during the Boxer Rebellion in China and the savage Russo-Japanese War of 1904-5, the Western press lauded the Japanese for their kindness to the enemy wounded and imprisoned. "Warriors of the Rising Sun" chronicles the Japanese military's transformation from honorable "knights of Bushido" into men of historic cruelty. Photos.
First line
he transition from chivalry to brutality by Japan's military cannot be understood without a knowledge of the ecent history of Northeast Asia, especially Japan's entanglements with China Korea, and Russia.
