...more subtle. It describes how the animals in Tokyo's Ueno Zoo were put to death by their keepers for fear that the bombing of Tokyo might set them free in the city. The Japanese protagonists, the zoo keepers, are portrayed most tenderly. There is not a hint, not a word about the motivation--let alone the humanity--of those manning the "enemy planes...
