More stupid japs |
| This book is a good read. It recovers a part of history that most people do not know about. Only thing I disagree, it was 10x more brutal than the author describes. Only way japs will ever know how it feels is to get there country invaded and raped, and then deny it ever happened. People like hiromi and t.s. should burn in hell. |

Not the best author... |
This is a very important subject to learn about. However, I did not enjoy Hick's style of writing. He is over dramatic at times, "Japan remains an international outcast, an economic superpower which comands respect but which has few, if any, friends in either East or West" (p.275), and he does not cite any of his quotations or sources. I would have liked to read up more on his sources, but they are not there. I often wondered where he got his translations from too.
Not that I am trying to downplay the comfort women issue. Hicks makes a good attempt at trying to cover it, but his writing is really convoluted and boring. The personal story clips were very revealing, but again, where did he get them from?
Try a different author on the subject, one who is more professional about their writings. |

A History Lesson Everyone Should Learn |
It is not a easy book to read; it sure will make many of people in today's materialized society to realize how lucky they are.
This book should be included in our text book to teach our new generation that freedom and liberity is not FREE and there is always a price to pay.
If the Japanese government is not so sensitive and being over-protective about the issue, they should use this book as one of their text book in learning the mistake in their past, and hopefully they won't make the same mistake again in their new generation.
People can find more info on another good book about the topic, "Comfort Women" by Yoshimi Yoshiaki and Suzanne O'Brien. I have the same comment there. |
