Warriors of the Rising Sun: A History of the Japanese MilitaryDuring World War II, many of Japan's soldiers committed such crimes against humanity that the world recoiled in horror. During the notorious six week long "rape of Nanking" in 1937, Japanese forces murdered at least 200,000 men, women, and children. Throughout the Pacific War, Allied prisoners were often starved, tortured, beheaded, even cannibalized.

During World War II, many of Japan's soldiers committed such crimes against humanity that the world recoiled in horror. During the notorious six-week-long "rape of Nanking" in 1937, Japanese forces murdered at least 200,000 men, women, and children. Throughout the Pacific War, Allied prisoners were often starved, tortured, beheaded, even cannibalized. Although Japan's military men fought bravely against outnumbering forces again and again, their astonishing brutality made them a loathsome, unforgivable enemy.While this chapter of Japanese history is well known, few realize that earlier in this century the Japanese were celebrated throughout the West for their chivalry in warfare. During the Boxer Rebellion in China and the savage Russo-Japanese War of 1904-5, the Western Press lauded the Japanese for their kindness to the wounded and imprisoned enemy.Warriors of the Rising Sun chronicles the Japanese military's transformation from honorable "knights of Bushido" into men who massacred thousands during the Pacific War. Crucial in bringing about this change was Western rejection of Japan as an aspiring colonial power, as well as the West's racist, anti-Japanese immigration policies. Japan's leaders chose military brutality as a necessary means to achieve a rightful place in the world. Today, Japan has the second largest military budget in the world. What lessons have her leaders learned from the past wars?

Great color but destroy easily
Color: Orange, Size: 20 PACK
These balls are easily visible and excellent in situations where green balls may be difficult to find. I only take these balls out to play fetch. The balls only last a couple of fetch sessions before being destroyed.

Great quality and great color!
Color: Yellow, Size: 6 PACK, Color: Yellow, Size: 6 PACK
I bought this pack of six tennis balls for weekend games with my kids and some casual practice, and they’ve been great so far. The bounce is consistent, they feel solid off the racket, and they don’t go flat quickly like some cheaper balls I’ve tried before. They work well on both the court and just for backyard play.
