Instead Ishii and his team managed to negotiate and receive immunity in 1946 from war-crimes prosecution before the Tokyo tribunal in exchange for their full disclosure of germ warfare data based on human experimentation.

This would be a nice inclusion in every US high school history book.

It will be included immediately after the massacres of the native Indians are taught in the said history books.

Did it? They were not in my textbooks growing up. But that was a generation ago. What did your text books say about the massacres?

They mentioned the Indian Wars (regional thing), the Trail of Tears, what Columbus and the Spaniards did, and the creation of reservations. I never got an impression that the native peoples were well treated beyond third or fourth grade.
