| Summary, Etc. |
- Summary, etc - "Americans are well informed with respect to atrocities committed by Germany during WWII. After the war, Germany apologized to concerned parties and even granted significant reparations. Generally, WWII opponents in Europe and the U.S. have become allies. Few are aware that Japan also committed serious wartime atrocities during WWII, including "The Rape of Manila", "The Bataan Death March" and its methodical starvation and torture of prisoners of war. Japan has not unequivocally apologized and has failed to make reparations. As a consequence, China and some other countries continue to be extremely upset with Japan's failure to admit its complicity in WWII atrocities.
In this book, Roy Fisher Doolan, son, Roy Gibson Doolan, father, explain first hand experiences of what actually happened in the Philippines during WWII. Until Japan relents and accepts it's responsibility for the tragic consequences of WWII in the Far East, it will remain in a state of denial. "And you shall know the truth and truth shall make you free." John 8:32"
