4.9/5 (27069 ratings)

Description:Trinity: July 1945, the top secret atomic bomb test in the New Mexico desert. What if there had been an official Japanese observer at Trinity? Would the Japanese have surrendered? Would the bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki have been necessary? The Japanese Observer explores this serious and plausible theme.Operation Birdcage: September 1945, US Army counter intelligence officers pursue a Japanese scientist through defeated Japan and war-torn China. The officers are:Major Earl O'Brien: hard drinking cynic or nostalgic idealist searching for a lost son?Special Agent Ken Okamoto: zealous Japanese-American patriot or self-serving cultural schizophrenic?Lieutenant John Dietz: naive pawn or idealistic young warrior?They are ordered to capture or to eliminate:Professor Yoshibei Tagosaka: dangerous war criminal or victim of an intricate conspiracy?Tagosaka is held by a rogue unit of Japanese Army secret police, Kempei-Tai. They offer him in exchange for surrender concessions from the American government. They meet the American officers and take O'Brien and Dietz hostage.Is Birdcage a legitimate mission or is it a cover for a more sinister operation? What does Tagosaka know that makes him so dangerous to the Americans? Who murders Tagosaka's family? Why are the Russians interested in the mission? How advanced was Japanese atomic weapons research? These questions are answered in a violent four-way battle which leaves the idealistic Dietz the only survivor. Then, Dietz must fight against his own country for his honour and his life.The Japanese Observer is based on careful historical research about the immediate post-WWII period. Original photographs, documents and information about conditions in China and Japan in late 1945 were obtained by the author from officers who served in these theatres.
