During the Second World War, the Japanese Imperial Forces forced more than 100, 000 women from Asia into prostitution. Fifty years later, until as recently as 1993, the Japanese government refused to acknowledge its past horrendous and oppressive actions against these women. George Hicks' The Comfort Women: Japan's Brutal Regime of Enforced Prostitution in the Second World War is the only work in English that takes a hard look at what these women experienced. Discover the poignant and heartbreaking stories of these women who were forced to serve as "comfort women" for the Japanese soldiers. | Comfort Women by George Hicks, Paperback | Indigo Chapters
