Interesting, thanks.
You're quite welcome :-)
Upon reflection, I can't say that I recall seeing any American newspaper articles on Japan and WW2 that have NOT focused almost exclusively on the atomic bombing and the internment camps in the past 20 years, if ever.
I remember that in public school the only mention of Japan and WW2 was in the context of the atomic bombing and the American internment camps. This appears to be the only "accepted" template for discussion here, unfortunately.
It seems to me that many others find an honest discussion of the true evils of Imperial Japan to be remarkable and rare as well, as evidenced by over 360 posts to this thread as of this moment.

And this thread was not a discussion of a newspaper story per se, but of a book review.
I have yet to see the featured book discussed in the American press.....this is one of the reasons why I enjoy reading the UK press so much....quite a bit more diversity of thought, it seems.
