Features: Morimura Seiichi said, "The documentary purpose of this book is not to pursue individual responsibility, but this does not hinder reflection on the errors. My exposure of the Unit 731 atrocities is not limited to a single branch of the Japanese army; rather, I regard the unit's crimes as a symbol, aiming to dissect the demon system of war and militarism through this symbol." Unit 731 in Japan was the largest bacteriological unit in the world at that time. The Devil's Den authentically recreates the bloody crimes committed by Unit 731 in Northeast China during the invasion of China, where Chinese people were used as live subjects for bacteriological experiments, gas experiments, and frostbite experiments. The Devil's Den is a documentary work, consisting of three volumes. The first two were written by Morimura Seiichi after interviewing relevant individuals of Unit 731 in Japan. After the publication of the books, they were attacked by right-wing individuals in Japan and were once banned. However, Morimura Seiichi is a courageous, just, and conscientious writer. He came to China, interviewed witnesses, victims, and historians in Northeast China, and published the third volume. He also revised the first and second volumes.
