Title: Great Fiction; Awful History
Review: For any one who has more than a basic knowledge of Japanese history, this book is bunk. However, if one reads it as fiction, it makes for superb "summer beach reading". The fact that the picture on the cover is of the Emperor of China (after the fall of the Manchu dynasty and his "enthronement" as the Emperor of Manchuria), not the Emperor of Japan shows just how much the author knows about this subject.
