by HerbertP.Bix (Author)
A biography of Emperor Hirohito of Japan, one of the most hated World War II leaders. It reveals Hirohito's reputation as a peaceful, abused emperor to be a fiction and argues that he was, in fact, firmly in control of his troops and all major decisions right up until his surrender.
