The Secret History of Japan's Imperial Family
'The Yamanto Dynasty' takes us behind the walls of privilege and tradition and reveals, in uncompromising detail, the true nature of the Japanese imperial family - a dynasty until now shrouded in myth and legend - and the powerful shoguns and financiers who control the throne from the shadows.
New evidence is brought to light that points at the implicit involvement of Hirohito, and other members of the imperial family's inner circle, in the war crimes of the Second World War. Moreover, and shockingly, the American occupying force after the war were aware of this but deliberately protected Japan elite family to guard US investments in Japan and prevent Japan's fall into communism. The Seagraves here supply documentary evidence that General MacArthur and his men ensured that the major war crimes witnesses would completely exonerate Hirohito from all culpability in war crimes and shift the blame to others.
They also reveal for the first time the full scale of "Kin No Yuri", "Golden Lily", the looting operation that removed many billions of dollars worth of gold, platinum, diamonds, art, religious artefacts and other treasures from a dozen occupied countries during the war, and the fate of these hidden assets after 1945.
