In this book, John Toland takes the trial of Japanese Class A and Class B war criminals by the International Military Tribunal for the Far East after the end of World War II as the background, and the complex contradiction between love and law between the families of an American defense lawyer and a Japanese war criminal as the main axis, profoundly revealing the disasters caused by Japan's war of aggression to its own people. Sympathy for individual war criminals is revealed in some places in the book, but its main purpose is to praise peace and condemn war. As Tolan said: History will not simply teach people lessons. Based on the present and understanding the past, it will teach people more.
