The war crimes trials at Nuremberg and Tokyo meted out the Allies'official justice; Lord Russell of Liverpool's sensational bestsellingbooks on the Axis' war crimes decided the public's opinion. TheKnights of Bushido, Russell's shocking account of Japanesebrutality in the Pacific in World War II, describes how the noblefounding principles of the Empire of Japan were perverted by themilitary into a systematic campaign of torture, murder, starvation,rape, and destruction. Notorious incidents like the Nanking Massacre andthe Bataan Death March emerge as merely part of a pattern of humanrights abuses. Undoubtedly formidable soldiers, the Japanese wereterrible conquerors. Their conduct in the Pacific is a harrowing exampleof the doctrine of mutual destruction carried to the extreme, and begsthe question of what is acceptable—and unacceptable—in total war.
