More about the book
The book delves into the horrific human medical and military experimentation conducted by Nazi Germany and Imperial Japan during World War II, driven by their obsessions with race and eugenics. It examines the grim realities faced by victims, including concentration camp inmates and prisoners of war, subjected to extreme abuses without anesthesia. The narrative questions the motivations behind these experiments, the lack of accountability for Japanese physicians, and the potential benefits gained by Allied powers from the data collected. It combines testimonies from both perpetrators and victims to highlight humanity's capacity for cruelty.
