This analysis focuses on key events in his career such as the extent to which he bore responsibility for Japanese aggression in the Pacific in 1941, and explains why Hirohito remains such a contested symbol in Japanese post war politics.Nissan Institute/Routledge Japanese studies series.Political scienceJapanJapanPolitics and government1926-1989Electronic books.Political science952.033092Large Stephen S.642966FlBoTFGFlBoTFGBOOK9910455607203321Emperor Hirohito and Showa Japan1187852UNINA
