Richard Hoyt: Old Soldiers Sometimes Lie |
From the Publisher Why was Yamashita executed when many other Japanese war criminals, the truly guilty, escaped scot-free? What became of the fabled "Golden Lily," a treasure trove of plundered Asian war booty, including a set of eleven solid-gold dragons weighing more than five thousand pounds? And what might still be hidden beneath a bloodstained hill on the Philippine island of Negros? With the help of a disillusioned ex-CIA operative, Tomi is dead-set on exposing the dirty truth behind American intelligence operations in postwar Japan. But, even fifty years later, there are still those who prefer that the past stay buried, even if it means silencing Tomi's voice forever. Richard Hoyt: Old Soldiers Sometimes Lie. Forge, ISBN: 0765342251 (November, 2003), 384 p., $7.99
