Tojo : the rise and fall of Japan's most controversial World War II general / Peter Mauch.
"Japan's prime minister and top military general during WWII, 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."-- Provided by publisher.
