Tojo by Courtney Browne
General, minister of war, and prime minister, Hideki Tojo (1884-1948) was the most powerful leader in Japan during World War II. This book examines his life against the backdrop of Japanese militarism to illuminate the man who chose war rather than succumb to US-induced economic strangulation.
In addition to having served as a British major in India, Burma, and China during World War II, Courtney Browne (1915-1994) had a deep knowledge of, and many personal encounters with, Japan. He was a member of the British Commonwealth Occupation Force a witness to the War Crimes Trials one of the few foreigners to win the confidence of Tojo's wife and a resident of Japan for a decade.
