Opis

War Without Mercy examines Japanese-American relations during World War II and investigates links between popular culture, stereotypes, and extreme violence. Dower argues that the concept of racism-used equally by both sides-underpinned the military conflict and led to a particularly brutal war in the Pacific and East Asia.
