This disturbing book reveals the extent of the truly shocking
activities of the Kempeitai, Japan's feared military and secret
police. The book opens by explaining the origins, organization and
roles of the Kempeitai apparatus, which exercised virtually
unlimited power throughout the Japanese Empire. The author reveals
their criminal and collaborationist networks, which extorted huge
sums of money from hapless citizens and businesses. They ran the
Allied POW gulag system which treated captives with merciless and
murderous brutality. Other Kempeitai activities included biological
and chemical experiments on live subjects, the Maruta vivisection
campaign and widespread slave labour, including 'Comfort Women'
drawn from all races. Their record of reprisals against military
and civilians was unrelenting. For example, Colonel Doolittle's
raid on Tokyo in 1942 resulted in a campaign of revenge not just
against captured airmen but thousands of Chinese civilians. Their
actions amounted to genocide on a grand scale.The author backs up
his text with first hand testimonies from those survivors who
suffered at the hands of this evil organization. He examines how
the guilty were brought to justice and the resulting claims for
compensation. As a result Japan's Gestapo provides comprehensive
evidence of the ruthlessness of the Kempeitai against the white and
Asian peoples under their control.
