40. Pacific War Atrocities with Quin Cho

In this episode of Hardtack, I discuss the atrocities of the Pacific War with guest Quin Cho, an archivist at Pacific Atrocities Education. We explore the historical context of the Pacific War, the significance of the Burma Campaign, and the radicalization of the Kwantung Army. Quin shares insights from his research and writing process, including his upcoming book on the Kwantung Army, and discusses the mission of Pacific Atrocities Education in raising awareness about these historical events. The conversation highlights the importance of understanding the complexities of military history and its lasting impact on international relations today.
