The Legacy of Hideki Tojo
Hideki Tojo steps down as Prime Minister of Japan on July 18, 1944. His career may be finished, but he's built a war machine that cannot simply be switched off. Things will get far worse for the Japanese people, worse even than the mass civilian suicides on Sakan. After this second devastating blow, an utterly defeated Japan accepts it must surrender. The task that remains is to round up Japan's war criminals and put them on trial. It's this mission which brings a team of American soldiers to a suburban house in Tokyo - right where our story began.
