informative sad medium-paced

3.0

while this was a very interesting book, I did not find it to be engaging in the way that other non fiction books have been for me. it was a bit repetitive and while it said that it aimed to explore the japanese soldiers’ state of mind during the war crimes, I felt that there wasn’t much content about that. I thought the epilogue made some great points and brought a lot of the themes and parts together.
