A searching meditation on our all-too-human capacity for inhumanity, \u003cem\u003eEvil Men\u003c\/em\u003e confronts atrocity head-on — how it looks and feels, what motivates it, and how it can be stopped.\n\nDrawing on firsthand interviews with convicted war criminals from the Second Sino-Japanese War (1937–1945), James Dawes leads us into the frightening territory where soldiers perpetrated some of the worst crimes imaginable: murder, torture, rape, medical experimentation on living subjects. Transcending conventional reporting and commentary, Dawes's narrative weaves together unforgettable segments from the interviews with consideration of the troubling issues they raise.\n\nTelling the personal story of his journey to Japan, Dawes also lays bare the cultural misunderstandings and ethical compromises that at times called the legitimacy of his entire project into question. For this book is not just about the things war criminals do. It is about what it is like, and what it means, to befriend them.\n\nDo our stories of evil deeds make a difference? Can we depict atrocity without sensational curiosity? Anguished and unflinchingly honest, as eloquent as it is raw and painful, \u003cem\u003eEvil Men\u003c\/em\u003e asks hard questions about the most disturbing capabilities human beings possess and acknowledges that these questions may have no comforting answers.\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Unknown","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47000617091308,"sku":"9780674416796","price":42.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/2669843482428.jpg?v=1763289486"}],"url":"https:\/\/bookhero.live\/collections\/james-dawes.oembed","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
