A study revealing the Japanese use of Allied POWs in medical experiments during WWII. It also uncovers the shocking links between Allied POWs and the infamous Unit 731, at the Mukden POW Camp in Northern China, and proves that the British and American governments co-operated post-war, using data derived from Japanese experiments for chemical and biological warfare purposes.

The Devil's Doctors offers an insight into their various programmes, beginning with the terrible tortures which were inflicted on Chinese civilians in the interests of medical research and the effects of conventional and biological weapons. The book, however, is mainly concerned with the activities of the infamous Unit 731 and its links to the Mukden POW camp where Allied prisoners of war were held. The records are sparse; so much so that it cannot be conclusively stated that anything took place at Mukden which did not happen at any other Japanese POW camp, yet Mark Felton presents a range of evidence which clearly implies that the prisoners were being used as laboratory rats, routinely infected with all manner of diseases so that their impact on the Western immune system could be observed. The narrative does not seek sensation or attempt to draw irrefutable conclusions where it is clearly impossible to do so, instead it simply provides a balanced assessment of what is known and what seems probable.
