Summary:  "During the Second Sino-Japanese War (1937-1945) Japanese soldiers perpetrated some of the worst crimes imaginable: murder, torture, rape, and medical experimentation on living subjects. Presented with accounts of genocide and torture, we ask how people could bring themselves to commit such horrendous acts. Drawing on firsthand interviews with convicted Japanese war criminals, Evil Men confronts atrocity head-on: how it looks and feels, what motivates it, and how it can be stopped. Telling the personal story of his journey to Japan, Dawes also lays bare the cultural misunderstandings and ethical compromises that at times called the legitimacy of his entire project into question. Anguished and unflinchingly honest, as eloquent as it is raw and painful, Evil Men asks hard questions about the most disturbing capabilities human beings possess, and acknowledges that these questions may have no comforting answers"--Provided by publisher.
