Description
Immediately after Emperor Hirohito's World War II surrender, General MacArthur suddenly finds himself the de facto ruler of a foreign nation. He challenges his expert on Japanese culture, General Fellers to provide evidence in ten short days to decide if the Japanese Emperor, worshipped as a god by his people but accused of war crimes, should be punished or saved, as the fate of a nation waits.
Description
After World War II, Brigadier General Bonner Fellers is ordered by General MacArthur to investigate the role of Emperor Hirohito in World War II to decide if he should be tried as a war criminal.
