Read my previous review, and be prepared to be amazed and in awe of what the REAL TRUE HISTORY of Japan is... it's still very controversial, so be prepared... you MUST have an OPEN MIND to read this book. The usual "EXPERTS" say it's all BS... but since 1971 (when this book was published), much of what was called BS by THE EXPERTS have finally emerged in other books as THE TRUTH... SURPRISE!! If you already have made up your mind (PRE_JUDGED), then "... your cup is FULL, and you cannot learn anything else." Bergamini explains that what is in this book is actually COMMON KNOWLEDGE in JAPAN... it's just that it's of such a nature that NOONE TALKS ABOUT IT... in Public. He risked his Life to bring this information into the Light of Day for YOU. But only you can make the decision... the RED Pill, or the BLUE one... well... ?

Bergamini was courageous enough to write this book at a time when it was taboo to even mention the possibility of Hirohito's guilt and the massive post-war coverup of his involvement in the bloodiest war in the Far East. The warped sense of justice which prevails even today which favors letting Japan off lightly while condemning the Germans at every opportunity, is difficult to understand and does not take into account the suffering of Asian peoples and THEIR FEELINGS. It took Iris Chang's book on the Nanking massacre to make us aware of the suffering of the Chinese people during the war, and then some apologists for Japan still insist that the book is not portraying the truth.
Japan got off lightly compared with the intense suffering experienced by the Germans, whose capital Berlin was raped, ravaged and occupied by the troops of four different countries. China, having suffered 35 million dead, its citizens used as experimental rats, its cities bombed to rubble and its economy in ruins did not even rate an occupation force in Tokyo, while the French did in Berlin. Japanese troops in Chinese custody were sent home within 3 months while they languished in Russian prisons for 10 years. Yet Japan continues to deny it did any wrong, claiming it "liberated" SE Asia from colonialism. Isn't it time for truth to be told? This book comes closest to putting the blame where it belongs and to begin to correct 60 years of injustice.

Exceptional history of Japan's involvement in World War II and what led up to it. We all know they attacked Pearl Harbor, but what led the Japanese to make this decision. Why did they feel so compelled to travel across the Pacific and attack America when it looked like war could have been avoided. This book goes into those details and then some. It really gives you a good insight into what was going on in China and how US foreign policy in the mid-1930s ultimately led us to war.

A masterful recounting of the evil of HIrohito and his and the Japanese aristorcacy's plan to conquer the world by murdering 1/3 of its population and subjecting the rest to oppressive rule.

Hirohito, whose grandson sits on the Japanese throne, was a murderous war criminal and should have been hung.

The author of the book had an unusual background that gave him a special insight into the war time Japanese government. He spoke Japanese as a native and was able to interview Japanese leaders after the war. The book is unique in its substance.

David Bergamini's JAPAN'S IMPERIAL CONSPIRACY is even better than John Toland's THE RISING SUN, William Manchester's AMERICAN CAESAR, Barbara Truchman's STILLWELL AND THE AMERICAN EXPERIENCE IN CHINA. Need I say more?

1.0 out of 5 stars Misleading information, incomplete delivery.
Reviewed in India on December 24, 2020
Verified Purchase
I liked the speed of delivery and message regarding the progress of the order.
However, the description on the website lead me to believe that it is the full book. There was no indication on the website that it is in more than one volumes. What arrived was only volume 1.
From a review by another buyer I noticed that there is a version in just one volume of 1300 pages. And that is the one shown in the display. I have received volume 1 of 778 pages.
I feel I have been misled and given a raw deal.
Please rectify your mistake and send me the correct book. I will return this volume 1 to you.
Alternatively, send me the other volumes to make the book complete.

The book is heavy (1300 pages) and was packed in vacuum packed plastic without any bubble wrap or other padding. When it arrived the envelope was torn and some of the dust jacket was also torn where it jutted out of the tear area. I would expect a bit more professionalism.
