[lbo-talk] [Pen-l] Untold History, note

[michael perelman]

I have mentioned this before.  My mother's cousin was a close friend
of John Eisenhower, Ike's son.  As a medical doctor, he was part of a
group to study the benefits of dropping an atomic bomb in Korea.  The
problem was that the prevailing winds would have dropped the radiation
largely in the South, where the US troops were.  He also told me that
the so-called Bataan Death March was not was advertised.  The US
troops and their Japanese captors got the same rations.
