About this product
Product Information
Yoshimi provides a wealth of documentation and testimony to prove the existence of some 2,000 "comfort stations" where as many as 200,000 women of varying nationalities, euphemistically known as "comfort women," were imprisoned and forced to engage in sexual activity with Japanese military personnel.

Reviews
" Comfort Women'scommand of documentary materials makes it a landmark for historians, human rights activists and general readers." -- Georgette Fleischer, Los Angeles Times Book Review, Yoshimi, a reputable historian/scholar... has meticulously sleuthed out chronological data, exposing from its bitter outset that sordid, endless business of sexual slavery. Yoshimi's account extends to the essence of feminist political purpose... The book makes solid headway toward legitimizing his demands for public access to still-secret documents; acknowledging and apologizing for all violations of international law and war crimes and for failure to punish guilty parties; rehabilitating and compensating victims... A vigorous work, enhanced by a precise, graceful translation., "it is necessary and compelling reading...invaluable addition...fascinating" -- Wendy Anderson, Asian Studies Review, " Comfort Women's command of documentary materials makes it a landmark for historians, human rights activists and general readers." -- Georgette Fleischer, Los Angeles Times Book Review, "Yoshimi, a reputable historian/scholar... has meticulously sleuthed out chronological data, exposing from its bitter outset that sordid, endless business of sexual slavery.

A vigorous work, enhanced by a precise, graceful translation." -- Choice, Comfort Women's command of documentary materials makes it a landmark for historians, human rights activists and general readers., As a piece of historical literature, Comfort Women is interesting as an in-depth look at the politics and psychology of a particular time, as much as it is a chronology of what happened to the comfort women and why they were forgotten. One of the most interesting things about it, however, is its unique place in history as the virtual smoking gun that supplied the damning evidence the world needed to hear in order to fully understand and come to grips with this issue....A convincing writer and powerful advocate, Yoshimi has shown by words and actions his willingness to campaign not only as an intellectual who loves the truth, but as a person of tough moral fiber who will stand up for human rights, even as a majority of one., "As a piece of historical literature, Comfort Women is interesting as an in-depth look at the politics and psychology of a particular time, as much as it is a chronology of what happened to the comfort women and why they were forgotten.

The book was delivered in the condition the seller described. Other than highlighted marks on the first few pages, the book is in very good condition. I also received the book much faster than was anticipated at the time of the purchase. The book came in a package that protected it from further marks, etc. I am well pleased with this seller and they deserve the best review.
Thank you.
