Description: Imperial Japan's wartime atrocities left a bloody stain on the ì
waters of the Pacific...This is a story that might have quietly ì
slipped beneath the waves of history had Bernard Edwards not ì
written this important book. Blood & Bushido vividly recounts the ì
barbaric actions of Japan's navy in the wake of its attacks on ì
Allied shipping, including the ramming of lifeboats, the ì
machine-gunning of survivors and the bayoneting and beheading of ì
captives. As Edwards explains, the ancient Japanese warrior code ì
of Bushido-under which capture is forbidden-was in stark and ì
lethal contrast to the humane code of conduct usually honored by ì
seafarers. Anyone unfortunate enough to fall victim to the ì
Imperial Navy paid a terrible price. Drawing on the dramatic ì
accounts of Allied survivors, Blood & Bushido serves as a ì
reminder of the Imperial Navy's inhumane acts and a tribute to ì
those who perished because of them.Condition Information
