ABSTRACT
The Japanese ate many Australians and Americans in New Guinea, a fact which has often seemed to cause more revulsion than the barbarities unleashed on the Australians, Americans and natives who were tortured and murdered. It has also been frequently denied which is perhaps more understandable. But the evidence is so overwhelming and, paradoxically, the circumstances in which the Japanese turned to cannibalism so extreme, that it does help to know what really happened.
