From 1932 to 1945, in a headlong quest to develop germ warfare
capability for the military of Imperial Japan, hundreds of Japanese
doctors, nurses and research scientists willingly participated in
what was referred to at the time as 'the secret of secrets' -
horrifying experiments conducted on live human beings, in this case
innocent Chinese men, women, and children. This was the work of an
elite group known as Unit 731, led by Japan's answer to Joseph
Mengele, Dr Shiro Ishii.
Under their initiative, thousands of individuals were held
captive and infected with virulent strains of anthrax, plague,
cholera, and other epidemic and viral diseases. Soon entire Chinese
villages were being hit with biological bombs. Even American POWs
were targeted. All told, more than 250,000 people were infected,
and the vast majority died. Yet, after the war, US occupation
forces under General Douglas MacArthur struck a deal with these
doctors that shielded them from accountability.
Provocative, alarming and utterly compelling, "A Plague Upon
Humanity" draws on important original research to expose one of the
most shameful chapters in human history.
