John W. Dower, in War Without Mercy: Race & Power in the Pacific
War (New York: Pantheon, 1986), suggests that a figure of 9 million
civilian deaths, from all causes, is a conservative estimate (pp. 295-96).

This revelatory essay describes the hate campaign mounted by the U.S. and
British regimes and their unofficial mouthpieces, designed to corrupt the
American and British peoples so they would be ready to accept what Martin
calls "the new barbarism." I had never heard of the World War II-era Peace
Now Movement before reading this essay.
