Reseña del editor:

An evocation of ego, greed, and imperial politics in post-World War II Japan follows a young captain involved in a plot between General MacArthur and the Japanese emperor to seize total control

Nota de la solapa:

tselling author of Fields of Fire comes a provocative novel of historical intrigue, gripping drama, and haunting romance suffused with the mystery and seduction of the Orient.

1997.  Jay Marsh, Wall Street millionaire and grand old man of the diplomatic corps, takes a sentimental journey to the scene of his first triumphs and agonies, Manila, where as a brash young captain during World War Two he served as aide-de-camp and confidant to General Douglas MacArthur.  Marsh sees beyond the glittery capital of today to the horrifying days of 1945.  The retreating Japanese army had devastated everything in its wake.  The city was set ablaze and one hundred thousand innocents were slaughtered.  Marsh was forced to leave behind his Filipino fiancée and accompany MacArthur to Japan.  Now, as the senior statesman stands in the serene garden of the ambassador's residence, his mind reels back in time. . . .
