Description
Unit 731: The Forgotten Asian Holocaust is a factual account of one of the most despicable and forgotten acts against humanity committed by the Imperial Japanese government. The book outlines the creation and development of Unit 731, an organization that employed thousands of Japanese scientists who conducted nightmarish experiments on an untold number of human guinea pigs. The Japanese invasion of China during the Second Sino-Japanese war left a legacy of hate and disgust among many Chinese today. The Imperial Japanese government's covert biochemical weapons program, euphemistically labeled as the "Epidemic Prevention and Water Purification Department", subjected 3,000-250,000 innocent men, women, and children to cruel experiments and medical procedures. This book provides a clear understanding of the extent of Imperial Japanese war crimes, and serves as a reminder that such atrocities should be widely known, in the hope that history will never repeat itself in this horrific manner.
