When the captured Westerners – who had lived the most opulent of lives within a starving China – were placed in austere Prisoner of War Camps, their pretences to physical and spiritual superiority came crashing down after a week on half-rations.

What the White people had inflicted on the population of Asia – the Japanese inflicted upon the defeated Europeans.
