Kempeitai: Japan's Dreaded Military Police

The Kempeitai, Japan s secret military police & counter-espionage service, were held in justifiable dread in the military occupied territories of what the Japanese called the Dai Toa Kyozonken (the Japanese-occupied territories) of World War II. The Kempeitai & their ethnic collaborators from Manchuria to Singapore imposed submissiveness upon reluctant nations & planned brutality & processes to break the human spirit. This book examines the origins of the Kempeitai & its subsequent growth from out of the Japanese military police & Secret Service; its recruitment & training are outlined, as are its structure & duties, military philosophy & influence.
