- Title translated into English: : Uncovered war crimes: what did the Japanese Imperial Army do to Australians?
- Synopsis of content: Almost half of this book is about the Sandakan POW Camp where many Australian POWs were tortured and killed. This book explains how Australian army nurses, were raped, killed and forced to serve as comfort women. The last chapter of the book is about cannibalism among Japanese soldiers in the jungle, of which some of the victims were Australians. The author attempts to not explain the cause of torture, rape, and slaughter in terms of 'Japanese national characteristics' or 'Japanese culture', which many other authors use to explain the cause of Japanese brutality during the war. The author tries to analyze from the points of view of both victims of the war, and Japanese soldiers, the causes of the Japanese Imperial Army action towards Australians. He draws comparisons with the Nazis, Vietnam, and Bosnia to show that the brutality of torture, rape, and slaughter by the Japanese Imperial Army is not ‘special’ or ‘unique' to the Japanese.
