really liked it

Doesnt give as much detail as I hope

More of a shirt history of japan then any in depth study of the madness. The author spends tge last chapter on how such monstrosity occured and his argument backed by data made a convincing read. Over all the book was fine and performed its goal, only I would have preferred more data presenting his argument as I did not feel fully convinced by it. And much of it before the last chapter felt like a history lesson that didnt always tie up to the argument he was trying to lay out. In the end while I understood some of the mentality that led to unspeakable horrors, I still couldnt fathom how this could ever lead to cannibalism, something prevalent in the japanese army.
