This was a completely misguided attempt to "educate" US troops. There have been countless studies that have shown that there is more genetic variety within a "racial" group than across racial lines, putting the lie to the whole concept of race.

I'd say that it's more than likely that this book ended up causing trouble for some unfortunate Chinese rather than actually helping to identify any Japanese, and probably led to at least one wrongful death. Promoting racism as education tends to do that.
