I've also read it. It reminded me so much of stories old people would tell about the Japanese occupation when I was stationed in Korea and the Phillippines back in the early 80s. I thought, no one has written about this since the 1950s - it's about time.

I studied Asian history and languages is college (as a relief from accounting). My Japanese instructor, who was a preteen girl in Japan during the war, told me she always felt ashamed when she was with the Asian History professor, who was born in Korea with Korean and American parents. She (the Japanese teacher) was a good Christian woman (neat story behind that, if I had time right now), and she was tormented by what the Japanese had done to the Korean people, particularly to the women.
