The findings of this book are, therefore, contradictory to the writings of Prof. Richard H. Minear and former Justice William O. Douglas. In the early 1970s, after the publication of Minear’s work about the validity of the Tokyo war crimes trials, the Japanese began to publicly question world opinion that they had been aggressors. This predates the declassification the Magic Summaries starting in 1978. These Summaries show the lie by the Japanese for what it is.
