Title: Words without mercy
Product review: Mr. Dower's nearly unreadable text should be avoided at all costs. This book got lots of press attention when it was first published but it's simply not a serious work. Written in a supermarket tabloid style the author reaches many unfounded conclusions and "discovers" that General Sherman was right: "War is Hell". Along the way he seeks to prove that the war in the Pacific was a racial attack by the U.S. on the Japanese and that if the U.S. had been less evil we could have waged a much more kindly and gentle war. The authors careful selection of facts prearranged to support his far-fetched ideas fail to hold together.
