I am working on an essay where i discuss the position of the Japanese empeor Hirohito on the second WW.
I have done my research, and found lot of articles and books, explaining the situation, concluding he was indeed part of guilty, and that he was only called innocent in order to maintain order in Japan and sustain the new goverment the U.S. wanted to install.
However i have not yet found a ny book or source that argue the opposite, and i really would like to read another point of view in order to reach a more just conclusion for my essay. Any ideas?
Thanks for reading!
