- Description
- Martyn Day is a solicitor trying to force the Japanese Government to give compensation to survivors and families of victims of Japanese atrocities during the Second World War. He is amazed that the British government was so insensitive to POW’s feelings following revelations they allowed suspected Japanese WWII war criminals to be released in the fifties under pressure from the USA.
