Why read it?
1 author picked Comfort Women as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
This book is essential reading on the “comfort women” issue.

The book provides a wealth of documentary evidence and first-person testimonies, convincingly proving the Japanese military’s direct involvement in setting up and administering the comfort stations. This English edition includes introductions by both the author and the translator, making the story accessible for English-speaking readers.
From Peipei's list on comfort women enslaved by the Japanese military.
