520 3 _aA biography of Emperor Hirohito of Japan which challenges numerous claims that the Emperor was the driving force of Japan's war campaigns in World War Two. Backed with years of research, the author presents a protrayal of Emperor Hirohito as one who was trapped in the Japanese imperial system and was carrying out his own private battle against the Japanese Imperial Army who were the power and authority then. His dreams of peace for his country came after the war was over when he managed to outmaneuver the army in order to surrender to the Allied Forces.
