Old Soldiers Sometimes Lie Summary
|
On November 14, 1947, two years after the war, General Douglas MacArthur met in private with Emperor Hirohito. They spoke for ninety minutes. To this day, there is no official record of what was discussed.... Over five decades ago, MacArthur permitted General Yamashita Tomayuki to be executed for alleged war crimes. Now, the general's granddaughter is determined to clear Yamashita's name, even if it means unravelling a web of deceit and corruption that may stretch back to the Emperor himself -- and a secret pact between Hirohito and MacArthur. But some would prefer the past stay buried.... Old Soldiers Sometimes Lie is a work of fiction that nevertheless raises disturbing questions about what truly went on in the Pacific in the shadowy years following World War II. A former counterintelligence agent, as well as an award-winning author of espionage thrillers, Richard Hoyt pulls together disparate threads of historical fact and rumor to weave a gripping tale of intrigue and conspiracy in high places. |
