Summary: Women's lives in a war zone.
Comment: ¡° The Comfort Women¡± written by George Hicks portrays how the war can bring down women¡¯s right to the bottom line. They were fed to survive, but other than that, they were like a disposable thing. They were sent to the war zone with the food and cloths for the Japanese soldiers. They were sent to the war zone to provide sexual comfort to the soldier.
In the book, the author contained several comfort women¡¯s stories too. The speaker¡¯s pain will touch your heart, and live with you for a long time. Those women are who survived from the World War II and make their way back home. However, they were not able to overcome of the horror until now. Their shocking stories in the war zone and their lives after the war are no similar to any other women¡¯s who suffered from a war.
There were 200.000 women who were taken away to the war, and only less than 200 women got back. Last of them were buried in the war field. After half century later, most of them died of old age. The remained victims¡¯, of the Japan¡¯s brutal sexual assault, last word are in this book. We should read and remember their pain. Thus, nothing like this won¡¯t happen again.

Summary: A Difficult Read...
Comment: ... but one that folks do need to read. This book was written back in the year 1994 when the horrific legacy of the comfort women was almost unknown to the public at large. Now 8 years later the world is better informed thanks to such authors as Nora Okja Keller.
Hicls did a wonderful ob writing and researching this book. He starts off with a general history of prostitution throughout war, and also a histoty of the attrocties aimed at women during war. He then gives a good overview of how the comfort stations were set up throughout the japanese dominated parts of Asia. He goes into detail of how the army, navy, government, and private folks set up the comfort stations, how professional prostitutes joined the comfort stations. How young girls mainly from Korea, but also from other countries such as Taiwan, the Philipines, Indonesia, and others were tricked o become comfort women with promises of money and food.
Hicks' book is full o interviews with comfort women so the reader gets first hand accounts of what life was like in a Comfort Station. How the women were treated, how many men each woman or girl has to service in a single day, and living conditions of the comfort women.
The last 100 pages or so of the book deals with the various groups who were determined to get an apology and monetary compensation out of the Japanese government. It took a very long time just to get the Japanese to admit that the Korean comfort women were not all willingly becoming prostitutes, but that corcion was used instead. good. but hard book to read
