Description
Excerpt from Human Bullets: A Soldier''s Story of Port Arthur
Uch is being said just now about the Japan M ese as a war-loving nation, likely to become aggressors in the struggle for the control of the Pacific. This little book of Lieutenant Sakurai''s will, perhaps, help to set us right in regard to the spirit in which the Japanese soldier fights. The story was told originally, not for a foreign audience, but to give to his own countrymen a true picture of the lives and deaths, the joys and sorrows, of the men who took Port Arthur. Its enthusiastic recep tion in Japan, where forty thousand copies were sold within the first year, is the justification of translator and editor in offering it to the American public.
