Japan's infamous Unit 731 : firsthand accounts of Japan's wartime human experimentation program / Hal Gold ; with a new foreword by Yumi Totani. by Gold, Hal, author.

ISBN:  9780804852197 (paperback) ; 0804852197 (paperback) Description:  255 pages : illustrations ; 21 cm Requests:  0 Summary:  Some of the cruelest deeds of Japan's war in Asia did not occur on the battlefield, but in quiet, antiseptic medical wards in obscure parts of the continent. Far from front lines and prying eyes, Japanese doctors and their assistants subjected human guinea pigs to gruesome medical experiments. In the first part of Unit 731: Testimony, author Hal Gold draws upon a painstakingly accumulated reservoir of sources to construct a portrait of the Imperial Japanese Army's most notorious medical unit, giving an overview of its history and detailing its most shocking activities. The second half of the book consists almost entirely of the words of former unit members themselves, taken from remarks they made at a traveling Unit 731 exhibition held around Japan in 1994-95. These people recount their vivid firsthand memories of what it was like to cut open pregnant women as they lay awake on the vivisection table, inject plague germs into healthy farmers, and carry buckets of fresh blood and organs through corridors to their appropriate destinations. Unit 731: Testimony represents an essential addition to the growing body of literature on the still-unfolding story of one of the most infamous military outfits in modern history. By showing how the ethics of "normal" men and women, and even an entire profession, can be warped by the fire of war, this important book offers a window on a time of human madness, in the hope that such days will never come again.   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status   Aiea Public Library Adult Nonfiction 940.5413 Go Checked In Add Copy to MyList Hawaii State Library Language, Literature & History 940.5413 Go Checked In Add Copy to MyList Hilo Public Library Adult Nonfiction 940.5413 Gold Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kailua Public Library Adult Nonfiction 940.5413 Go Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kalihi-Palama Public Library Adult Nonfiction 940.5413 Go Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kapolei Public Library Adult Nonfiction 940.5413 Go Checked In Add Copy to MyList Mililani Public Library Adult Nonfiction 940.5413 Go Checked In Add Copy to MyList North Kohala Public Library Adult Nonfiction 940.5413 Go Checked In Add Copy to MyList Salt Lake-Moanalua Public Library Adult Nonfiction 940.5413 Go Checked In Add Copy to MyList Wahiawa Public Library Adult Nonfiction 940.5413 Go Checked In Add Copy to MyList
