    Well, at least they called it what it was about rather than giving the war a cover up name.

    I would also like to see you do something on the Japanese occupation of Korea. THANKS again for your work.

    I'm British, nearly 70 and was never taught anything about this at school. Oddly, I came across it through reading an historical novel series, one of which dealt with it. Fantastic that you're dealing with it in your audio series. Thank you very much.

    As someone whose parents are from HK and Macau, this is much appreciated Dr. Felton. Best doc I've seen by far, in any language, on this critical part of history.
