Summary, etc. Details the activities of Unit 731 of the Imperial Japanese Army, a formation dedicated to conducting bacterial warfare research in Manchuria. The Unit conducted innumerable experiements in the 1930s and 1940s. Many involved the use of living subjects, tests that often cost these subjects their lives. The author shows how the United States government provided immunity from investigation for men who thereby avoided war crimes trials, so that the US could acquire the results of Japanese expertise in bacteriological warfare.
