I have read quite a few books about the Pacific war and was horrified by the cruelty.
I feel that history must not be allowed to die. Prevention and knowledge might
mean that past mistakes will not be repeated.
I do have books from the japanese side-- My trying to understand, but still have much to learn.
WAR is terrible. Better avoided. Things that nations and their People can do to others-- is terrible.
I have a copy of SENSO which is a collection of letters that were sent to the ASAHI SHIMBUM. Collected in the eighties, so a long time after the war but it is quite revealing.
I have learnt so much that I had been totally ignorant about.
