Description: Hirohito (4/29/01-1/7/89) was the 124th Emperor of Japan according to the traditional order of succession, reigning from '26 to '89, called the Sho-wa period. Since his death he has been known as Emperor Sho-wa' in Japan, the posthumous name given him by order of the Japanese cabinet. Altho he's widely referred to as Hirohito outside of Japan, past emperors are only referred to in Japan by their posthumous names. His reign was the longest of any historical emperor.Jacket: 'Hirohito was dominated by a military power clique bent on conquest who in the 1930s virtually seized control of Japan. While the Japanese military excused or justified their acts in the name of the Emperor, Hirohito was rarely consulted, & it was not until 1945 that he finally stopped the war. Why did he remain silent? What was this man really like? Leonard Mosley clearly defines the role of Hirohito in WWII.'IntroductionThe broken cageShaping of the swordRice cakes & hand grenadesSeeking the slotCaught in the stormPrelude to gloryThe light of civilizationJumping off the verandaThe divine smileThe spider & the webDeath of a dreamThe naked at midnightThe new DemocratsThe last lapRepayment of a debtThe cost of freedomThe extremist threatThe fragile flowersAppendicesBibliographyIndex This Book is USED.So there maybe some imperfections.Please look at the pictures.Thank you for looking!
