Synopsis

In this fascinating biography Oka Yoshitake examines the life and times of this enigmatic man, hereditary prince and sophisticated courtier. A man deeply dedicated to Japan's imperialist mission, Konoe played a pivotal role in the infamous China War and the militarist years leading up to the Pearl Harbor attack. Professor Oka describes Konoe's idealism and sincerity, as well as the flaws which made this popular politician "a tragic failure" as a political leader.
