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.
