      Bix's study must be good, and not simply because it only won the 2001 Joseph Pulitzer for General non-Fiction. The topic of the degree to which Emperor Hirohito was involved in the war crimes perpetuated by the Japanese military in China and Manchuria is a subject that has been tackled by so many historians and in so many different ways that any historian wanting to distinguish himself has to do a lot of work beforehand to find a unique angle by which to study the issue.
