Sommario/riassunto

Hellions of Hirohito, originally published in 1944, is a factual account of the experiences of an American youth, Phillip Harman, during his torture and imprisonment by the Japanese during World War II. Narrated by Eric Heath, the book seeks to expose the brutal and treacherous nature of the Japanese military regime under Emperor Hirohito. General Russell L. Hearn provides a foreword, emphasizing the significance of revealing the sinister aims of Japan during the war. The narrative is set against the backdrop of significant historical events, such as the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor and the struggles in Hong Kong. Harman's story illustrates the resilience and patriotism of American individuals faced with adversity. The book is aimed at an audience interested in World War II history, particularly the Pacific theater and the personal experiences of those affected by Japanese aggression.
