Synopsis

There is a persistent misunderstanding on Comfort Women among English speaking people. Several communities in the U.S. are building a memorial for them accusing human rights violations by the Japanese government, claiming that Comfort Women were "Sex-Slaves." This book provides solid bases for discrediting the popular conception. Even the Kono Statement was not a statement of historical fact, but an attempted political compromise. The book is a collection of historical documents and research reports which support the validity of the alternative assertion: Comfort Women were not Sex-Slaves.
