Description

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book.
Sample Book Insights:
#1 The Kempeitai was an organization that was so loyal to Japanese ultra-nationalist militarism that it was known for its cruelty and its ability to torture prisoners. Its reputation terrified Allied prisoners of war and civilian internees, and its position of power seemed unassailable.
#2 The Kempeitai was the Japanese police force, and it was as brutal and sadistic as the Gestapo. It was responsible for running the country’s prisoner of war and civilian internment camp system, and under its control, the camps were as harsh and depraved as those run by the Nazis.
#3 The Japanese saw the threat of the European dog, and they knew that if they did not act, their culture and independence would be lost. They knew that the threat came from trade turning into economic warfare waged by the most ruthless means.
#4 The Chinese government watched as its economy fell piece by piece into Western hands, and watched as every attempt they made to reassert their authority was met with gunboat diplomacy. The Westerners protected their huge trade profits, and they were exempt from Chinese laws and punishments through the principle of extraterritoriality.

Insights from Chapter 1

#1

The Kempeitai was an organization that was so loyal to Japanese ultra-nationalist militarism that it was known for its cruelty and its ability to torture prisoners. Its reputation terrified Allied prisoners of war and civilian internees, and its position of power seemed unassailable.

#2

The Kempeitai was the Japanese police force, and it was as brutal and sadistic as the Gestapo. It was responsible for running the country’s prisoner of war and civilian internment camp system, and under its control, the camps were as harsh and depraved as those run by the Nazis.

#3

The Japanese saw the threat of the European dog, and they knew that if they did not act, their culture and independence would be lost. They knew that the threat came from trade turning into economic warfare waged by the most ruthless means.

#4

The Chinese government watched as its economy fell piece by piece into Western hands, and watched as every attempt they made to reassert their authority was met with gunboat diplomacy. The Westerners protected their huge trade profits, and they were exempt from Chinese laws and punishments through the principle of extraterritoriality.

#5

The Kempeitai was created by the new Japanese government to track down and capture young men who were intent on avoiding conscription into the IJA. It also functioned as executive police under the direction of the Interior Minister, and as judicial police under the Justice Minister.

#6

The Kempeitai was a small organization that handled personnel management, internal discipline, and liaison with the various ministries. It was responsible for distributing Kempeitai military police units to the various parts of the IJA, as well as performing general public security and intelligence-gathering duties.

#7

The Japanese Army executed Operation Fox Hunt, an assassination team led by a Major Niiro, and murdered the Korean king and his ministers. The Japanese then raped and burned the queen alive.

#8

The Japanese economy was hurt badly by the Wall Street Crash of 1929, and the country began looking abroad to find the cure for its problems. They began coveting northern China, particularly the province of Manchuria, with its vast and under-exploited agricultural lands and huge mineral resources.

#9

The Imperial Way was dedicated to establishing the army as the real political power in Japan, either by winning democratic elections or by more direct methods. The IJA wanted to use the Imperial Way to create in effect a modern military shogunate.

#10

In 1931, a military coup was planned in Tokyo, but it was abandoned at the last minute. In 1936, a group of young Japanese army officers, all adherents of the Imperial Way Faction, launched another coup attempt in Tokyo, but they also failed to bring the military to full power.

#11

The Kempeitai was the Japanese organization charged with making sure that soldiers in the IJA followed the ideology of the Imperial Way. The Kempeitai promoted the racial superiority of the Japanese and racialist theories concerning the other peoples of Asia, in particular promulgating anti-Chinese ideas.

#12

The Japanese army installed a puppet regime in Manchuria in 1931, and by 1932, all of Manchuria was under Japanese control. The international protests against this were ignored, and relations with Britain and the United States sank to all-time lows.
Insights from Chapter 2

#1

The Japanese had been trying to get the names of the other resistance members hiding out in the Cameron Highlands on the borders of Perak and Piang states. Sergeant Yoshimura had been assigned to break Kathigasu. The tortures had been terrible, but she had stayed silent.

#2

The Kempeitai, the Japanese military police, had a reputation for torturing suspects. The organization equalled and sometimes outperformed the horrors dreamed up by the Gestapo and Stalin’s NKVD.

#3

The Japanese police force, the Kempeitai, used torture extensively to extract confessions. The threat of torture was usually enough to get people to talk, and many people broke or took their secrets to the grave as the Kempeitai kept up the pressure until the prisoner was literally tortured to death.
