Eso no estaba en mi libro de la guerra del Pacífico

Eso no estaba en mi libro de la guerra del Pacífico

Villamor, Rubén

Did you know that the military occupation of the Japanese Empire in Indonesia left four million dead due to armed actions and slavery? And that in a tiny portion of Alaska, invaded by Japan, a fierce "banzai" suicide charge was carried out? ? Episodes as unknown as these are those that the reader will be able to find in this book, but not the only ones, since many others will also be addressed, such as the actions of the "Japanese mini-submarines" in the ports of Madagascar and Australia, the genocide of the Karen ethnic group, the flight of an Anglo-Chinese party from Hong Kong led by the famous Admiral Chan Chak, the tragic expulsion of the Japanese minorities from Manchuria in 1945, the revenge on the Chinese provinces of Zhejiang and Jiangxi after the "Raid Doolittle ", the presence of Italian anti-fascists in Burma, the resistance of the Free Thai Movement or the little studied holocaust of the Jews in Asia with the Shanghai Ghetto, and even the incredible adventure of some sailors of the US Navy, to none other than the Gobi desert. World War II in Asia did not come down to Pearl Harbor, the atomic bombs, or the US Marines taking "leaps and bounds" from one island to another. On the same level as the Eastern Front in the Soviet Union, the Pacific Pacific War was the bloodiest and most devastating theater of operations spanning a vast geographic space across China, Micronesia, Insulindia, Burma, India, Mongolia, and even the northern coasts of North America.
