But it also generated a litany of horrors and massacres, not least amongst them the invasion of Hong Kong by the Imperial Japanese Army which was accompanied by rape, the widescale murder of Chinese civilians, and the massacre of Allied Prisoners of War. But amongst these atrocities, the sinking of the transport ship \u003ci\u003eLisbon Maru\u003c\/i\u003e and the deliberate killing of hundreds of unarmed prisoners of war (POWs) stands out even to this day as a shameful act of barbarity. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThis book, though, is not about the invasion of Hong Kong and its bloody aftermath. Nor is it so much about the sinking of the \u003ci\u003eLisbon Maru\u003c\/i\u003e - those stories have been told elsewhere. Rather, it's the authors' attempt to bring some degree of insight and remembrance into the individual lives of the 1,816 men who sailed on that ill-fated vessel.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 290\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.61 x 9 x 6 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e November 26, 2021\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42097526112391,"sku":"9798774226849","price":24.28,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0601\/2623\/2711\/files\/4d2609d40df733c67e9db51fde2418e8.webp?v=1732353224","url":"https:\/\/booksby.splitshops.com\/products\/the-lisbon-maru-massacre-a-dramatis-personae-paperback","provider":"Books by splitShops","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
