Atom Book Reviews Samples For Students

The reading, “Three Narrative of Our Humanity,” was informative, but difficult. The so-called, “sanitizing,” of Japanese history to wipe clean any remnants of the country’s part in World War II is both insulting, but understandable, as the reading admits preoccupation with the country’s own suffering is natural .
