Edward Frederick Langley Russell

When discussing the German war crimes of the Second World War, modern histories have focused on the Holocaust. While the Final Solution was a unique and unparalleled horror, German atrocities did not end there. The Nazis terrorized their own citizens, tortured and murdered POWs, and carried out countless executions throughout occupied Europe. Lord Russell of Liverpool was part of the legal team that brought Nazi war criminals to justice, and from this first-hand position, he published the sensational, bestselling The Scourge of the Swastika in 1954. Liverpool shows that the actions of the Third Reich, including the Holocaust, were illegal, not merely immoral.

This is the classic, standard account of Japanese war crimes; a best seller in its time, but out of print for many years. Between 1931 and 1945 Japanese troops rampaged through one defeated country after another, executing civilians, despoiling cities, massacring prisoners and cruelly exploiting prisoners of war and native populations. This carefully constructed history charts this brutal swathe of destruction, objectively examines individual crimes and details the reasons behind Japan's unprecedented disregard for accepted humanitarian principles. Japanese troops behaved with considerable brutality in their war against China a campaign designed 'to punish the people of China'. The Nanking massacre of December 1937 was just one example of the appalling series of atrocities the Japanese inflicted on the conquered Chinese. Japan also excelled in the mistreatment of prisoners of war. Allied troops unfortunate enough to fall into Japanese hands were abused, humiliated, starved and forced to serve as slave labor. This sweeping indictment of atrocities committed by the forces of the Rising Sun is a detailed and carefully documented study and one which throws light onto one of the most disturbing episodes of World War II.

Excerpt from Irving as HamletMystery is, no doubt, one of Hamlet's greatest charms, but the play has a mystery as potent for the vulgar as that which fascinates the educated and thinking. Moreover, its mystery is never suffered to be dull or to override the dramatic interest. And while by its supernatural element it awes all who con template the passage of its incidents, by its homely and simple human nature it stimulates the mind to pierce whatever in it is hard of comprehension. Here, if anywhere, is a great stage play, in which the emotions and bewilderments of gentle and simple may sympathetically commingle. Even the excisions of the common acting versions, though some of the passages are material and others suppress certain subtle but important points, have probably tended to define, and to truly define, the conception which here and there the poet too exuberantly and ramblingly pursued. And if that conception owes something to the pruning 'of the stage manager, how much does it owe to the study and enthusiasm of great actors! Actual performance is magically enlightening, and the recent success of Henry Irving shows that original reflection is still marvellously fruitful. One may be able to quote Goethe and Hazlitt - one may have little pet theories of Hamlet comfortably settled and docketed in one's mind; but after all, the true interpreter is the actor in whom we see Hamlet live.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
