Title: Review article based on book contains inaccuracies
Review: There is a lot of good literature out there addressing the question of what Japan's imperial family's involvement was in the events leading up to the Pacific war. I have read excerpts by these authors in various magazines, and some of the published information was false- including the claim that there have never been female emporers. (A review of classical Japanese history shows several- in fact, the earliest records of Japan from the Chinese refer to an empress !!!) These sorts of errors make me doubt that this is the book to set the record straight- look at Harold Bixley's recent book, or John Dower's "Embracing Defeat", for a more accurate take on the subject done by competent academics who can write well.
Is the review positive or negative?
