Government by Assassination

<p>Written by someone who spent twenty-three years as a journalist in Japan this book describes the political and military aspirations of Japan at a tumultuous period of twentieth century history. The book examines the workings of the Japanese government and discusses the role of the military in shaping political ideals: ideals which were a compound of Marxism and National Socialism transformed for Japanese uses and combined with fanatical racial national and semi-religious obsessions. </p>
