“After World War II, Kishi was imprisoned for three years as a suspected Class A war criminal. However, the U.S. government did not charge, try, or convict him, and eventually released him as they considered Kishi to be the best man to lead a post-war Japan in a pro-American direction. With U.S. support, he went on to consolidate the Japanese conservative camp against perceived threats from the Japan Socialist Party in the 1950s.”
I think that quote is straight from Wikipedia. There was also a two or three part Behind the Bastards podcast episode on him. I know the podcast and people behind it are problematic but that doesn’t mean they can’t do good episodes once in a while.
