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.
