Features: Wang Guodong poured his heart and soul into the Chinese translation of this book, which took three years to complete. Many of the testimonies of Japanese war criminals involved in the biological warfare trials compiled in the book were previously only available in Russian. The translation into Chinese is the first time, and also the first time, it has been published domestically, providing new and powerful evidence to expose the crimes of the Japanese army. The second and third parts of the book detail the full official materials of the Soviet Union's trial of 12 Japanese World War II biological warfare criminals, including indictments, interrogation records, trial materials such as the confessions and final statements of each defendant, the testimonies of witnesses in court, the conclusions of the examination committee, the speeches of the state prosecutor, and the statements of each defense attorney, as well as certain documentary evidence. This book is compiled based on the "Judicial Materials of Former Japanese Army Personnel Accused of Preparing and Using Biological Weapons" compiled and published by the Soviet Foreign Literature Publishing Bureau in 1950 and other materials. The entire book contains over 400,000 words and includes all the official materials of the Soviet Union's trial of Japanese World War II biological warfare criminals, making it of high historical value. The publication of this book will have significant empirical value in exposing the crimes of Japan during World War II and educational significance in promoting patriotism.
