FOREWORD
THE CHINA SUPERHOLOCAUST
-TO THE CHINESE PEOPLE-
[AND ALL OTHERS]
This book was originally written in the U.S.A. for the purpose of letting the American people know that the dropping of the Atomic Bomb in August, 1945 on Hiroshima and Nagasaki to end World War II in the Pacific, were correct decisions by President Truman, from a military viewpoint and also from a humanitarian viewpoint.
To understand the dropping of the bomb one needs to understand the barbaric history of the Japanese in China and the rest of Southeast Asia.
Beginning in 1894, when Japan had become a military power, Japan had invaded China and obtained Taiwan, the Pescadores Islands and the Liaotung Peniusula (Southern Manchuria). From then until 1938 through aggressive wars in China (described in this book) Japan had occupied all of Manchuria and captured all major Chinese cities.
This rampage through China was accompanied by barbaric killing and treatment of the Chinese people, more cruel, atrocious and extensive than had ever occurred in all of history.
And it continued during the Pacific War while the United States of America was recapturing Pacific islands (taken by the Japanese) leading to a final invasion of Japan in 1945.
The true history of the Japanese slaughter of some 30,000,000 Chinese from the decade of the 1930’s until 1945 has been partially obliterated, because of the China civil war between the Communists and the Nationalists and because of the U.S.A. occupation of Japan in which we were more interested in keeping the Japanese people from starving and in making the occupation go smoothly, than in requiring the Japanese to acknowledge their horrible military conduct in China, The Philippines and Southeast Asia.
The first of August 1945 the United States of America was assembling a military force (described in detail in this book) of some 5,000,000 United States of America, Army, Navy, Marine and Allied Military Personnel and thousands of ships and aircraft to invade Japan.
At the time of the invasion the U.S.A. faced millions of casualties; and China faced millions of deaths when the U.S.A. invaded, which will be explained in the book.
It is our hope that this book will help the Chinese people to become aware of some of the history of the Japanese invasion and occupation of much of China, including t he atrocities, which the Japanese deny to this day.
We fervently hope the Chinese people understand:
(1) From a military standpoint we dropped the bomb to prevent a necessary invasion of the main Japanese islands, which would have cost Allied lives in the millions, both from casualties and the Japanese High Command order to “kill all prisoners” the moment an invasion started.
(2) While the “killing of all prisoners order” would include all Chinese prisoners, we can also project what a rampage the Japanese Imperial Army would have followed through all of occupied China. Upon learning that their home islands had been invaded, an Army that had carried out such atrocities as “The Nanking Massacre” would have slaughtered an unthinkable number of Chinese.
We want you, China, to appreciate what the Bomb meant to you, and that the use of the Atomic Bomb should never reflect adversely on the morality or humanity of the United States of America.
