    The book begins with “Part I: Enemies” which is made up of the first 3 chapters. Part I starts off with a summary of the idea of a race war because of the race issues that erupted everywhere in World War II.

The first chapter briefly discusses the stereotypes each country had for one another, like the “subhuman” interpretation that western allies had towards the Japanese and the “demons and monsters” interpretation the Japanese had towards Americans. (pages 9-10) Dower also briefly touches on the similarities of both the Japanese and American racism, like when he suggests that “The propagandistic deception often lies, not in the false claims of the enemy atrocities, but in the pious depiction of such behavior as peculiar to the other side.” (page 12) Chapter 2 looks into the 7 documentaries by Frank Capra titled Why We Fight. These films were very controversial in America though originally intended for orientating new soldiers. Know Your Enemy-Japan was the most controversial. What was interesting about this film is that it was not released until after 3 years because the government did not like the way the Japanese…
