{"product_id":"9781628730661","title":"The Knights of Bushido: A History of Japanese War Crimes During World War II","description":"The war crimes trials at Nuremberg and Tokyo meted out the Allies' official justice; Lord Russell of Liverpool's sensational bestselling books on the Axis' war crimes decided the public's opinion. \u003ci\u003eThe Knights of Bushido\u003c\/i\u003e, Russell's shocking account of Japanese brutality in the Pacific in World War II, describes how the noble founding principles of the Empire of Japan were perverted by the military into a systematic campaign of torture, murder, starvation, rape, and destruction. Notorious incidents like the Nanking Massacre and the Bataan Death March emerge as merely part of a pattern of human rights abuses. Undoubtedly formidable soldiers, the Japanese were terrible conquerors. Their conduct in the Pacific is a harrowing example of the doctrine of mutual destruction carried to the extreme, and begs the question of what is acceptable—and unacceptable—in total war.","brand":"Skyhorse Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47179347165424,"sku":"9781628730661","price":17.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781628730661_p0.jpg?v=1763871917","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781628730661","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
