Were the Japanese really as savage as they were depicted in WW2 and pre-WW2 western history books? If so, can you provide some good books on the culture that fuels their need to use every last citizen to fight to the death.

More so since western history books are Christianized. There is a good documentary named solders of the devil or something along those lines that takes accounts from the Japanese solders themselves.

Yes.

True honorable samurai will never surrender their land of glorious Nippon. Especially not to communists and baka Gaijin who want to give corean pigs independence.

They were worse than depicted.

America should've gone full Tojocaust after WW2.

Japanese civilians didn't see any combat, while German and Soviet ones were actually fighting to the death at various points of the war.

Dovetailing off of your post, there's a book titled War Without Mercy that goes into the nitty gritty details about American propaganda against the Japanese in WWII. It's main premise that the PTO was a race war aside, it's a very interesting read and a good look at how the U.S. reacted to events in the Pacific.
