Which histories would be given to Hirohito from the future, and what would they be intended to change?
Short answerBooks such as Lambert's The British Way of War and Cunningham's A Sailor's Odyssey would aim to discourage war without handing Japan detailed information it could use to win.
NotesThe scenario gives Emperor Hirohito translated histories from the future. The aim is to discourage war while avoiding detailed information that could help Japan win it. Andrew Lambert's The British Way of War and Cunningham's A Sailor's Odyssey are among the books named. A strong account of the war's course is preferred to precise technical or operational information. Cunningham's focus on the Italians makes that memoir attractive in this reasoning, because he is expected to adapt even if they learn his historical plans.
