EDITORIAL REVIEW: They each had their reasons for being a soldier.They each had their illusions. Goodrich came from Harvard. Snake got the tattoo — Death Before Dishonor — before he got the uniform.

Marsh would play a dangerous game of deliberate deceit and brutal injustice in the shadow world of postwar Japan's royal palaces and geisha houses, and recognize that the defeated emperor and his wily aides were exploiting MacArthur's ruthless ambition to become the American Caesar. The Emperor's General is a dramatic human story of the loss of innocence and the seduction of power, about the conflict between honor, duty, and love, all set...]]> Sun, 18 Nov 2012 17:55:00 +0200 https://www.bookfrom.net/james-webb/254146-born_fighting.html https://www.bookfrom.net/james-webb/254146-born_fighting.html
