Ketsumeidan

Japan in the early 1930s is suffering badly from a decade of economic depression.  Young geisha Aiko Orikasa is convinced Japan is moving towards war in Asia, and ultimately a war with America.  Aiko and police inspector Yuudai Sato work against a military determined to take Japan to total war.  But forces are working against them as Japan goes to war in China.  Young Lieutenant Kurisu Sato then becomes part of the espionage maelstrom of occupied Shanghai, as ally becomes foe and foe becomes ally; almost day to day.

This is a fascinating tale about a country which instigated a war it could never win, and was then prepared to fight to the last man and woman to stave off an inevitable defeat.
