orchestrated an assassination attempt upon the Emperor (which very nearly succeeded), because they felt his resolve to fight on was wavering. The militarists' national slogan at the time was the suicidal, "100 million to die with honor." I haven't read this before. Remember the sources? It is in line with other things I have read- -that civilians were being given weapons [Japan has long been a believer in strict gun control- -except that time] and military training in preparation for a to-the-death last-ditch resistance to an expected American invasion. And then two nukes exploded.
