Description for Old Soldiers Sometimes Lie: What Happened to Hirohito's Gold
Hardcover. Clean copy in good dustwrapper
On November 14th 1947, two years after the war, General Douglas MacArthur met in private with Emperor Hirohito. They spoke for ninety minutes. To this day, there is no official record of what was discussed. Over five decades ago, MacArthur permitted General Tomayuki Yamashita to be executed for alleged war crimes. Now Yamashita's granddaughter is determined to clear his name, even if it means unravelling a web of deceit and corruption that may stretch back to the Emperor himself - and a secret pact between Hirohito and MacArthur.
