731 Ishi Shiro to Saikin Sen Butai No Yami Wo Abaku (Shincho Bunko)

[Machine Translation] The darkness of Unit 731 continued after the war. During the Pacific War, the germ warfare unit conducted vivisection and inhumane experiments with plague bacteria. Why were they able to avoid becoming war criminals despite the atrocities they committed? There was a surprising bargain between Ishii Shiro, the commander of the unit, and GHQ. The truth hidden in two volumes of Ishii's notebooks, discovered more than 50 years after the war, will be deciphered. This is a new postwar history that has emerged from the overwhelming number of interviews in Japan and abroad.
