Over at the Subject to Change podcast, it’s part two of our deep-dive into my book Japan at War in the Pacific, as Japan seeks to secure a puppet state in Manchuria, and then ends up bombing Pearl Harbor. Includes a ready-mix emperor, banking shenanigans, my Admiral Yamamoto comedy routine, and a crate of ceramic squirrels.

Mortified that I twice refer to Changchun as Chongqing; it was early.
