the rise and fall of Japan's most controversial World War II general
xii, 492 pages : illustrations, maps ; 25 cm.
Japan's prime minister and top military general during World War II, Hideki Tojo is today associated above all with the ignominy of defeat. Yet, before his downfall, he was a brilliant, ambitious and at times ruthless political operator. Peter Mauch chronicles Tojo's story, his military genius and the will to power that drove him to supreme heights.
