The Japs are the most racist society on Earth, and they've never apologized sufficiently nor made adequate amends for their war crimes. Jap schoolbooks don't teach their 1930s or WWII atrocities.
Required reading, lest we forget:
There was a book I stumbled upon a while back titled "I Saw Tokyo Burning". It was written by a French journalist assigned in Tokyo when France fell to the Germans. He was a man without a country at that time. He covered everything from Pearl Harbor to Hiroshima and the eventual surrender of Japan from notes he had hidden from the Japanese Secret Police (Think Japanese Gestapo). Fascinating (to me anyways) to read about the war from a third party individual. I don't know if it's still available.
