General Tojo Part 1: The Young Samurai

General Hideki Tojo led Japan into World War Two and oversaw some
of the most horrific war crimes in recorded history. Tojo did not
hold absolute power, but he more than earns his place at this
table. Ruling under a compliant Emperor, Tojo gathered power to
himself. He was the minister who outgrew his master, the
bureaucrat whose relentless work ethic took him to the apex of
government. Hideki Tojo is born in 1884. Japan is an emerging world
power. As a young military officer, the man they call “The Razor”
begins his journey up the ladder of Japanese politics. For ad-free
