1930. The Strongmen
Description
The Strongmen is the story of how Adolf Hitler, Benito Mussolini, Joseph Stalin and Emperor Hirohito of Japan employed propaganda to gain absolute control over their citizens. In Italy, Mussolini was a colorful performer and a thug who counted Hitler as a friend and ally. In Russia, Joseph Stalin's insistence on total devotion ranged from the horrific to the tragic-comic. And in Japan, Emperor Hirohito was seen as a demi-God, able to protect his people from all outside threats. In the Pacific, Japan launched a brutal attack on Nanking, foreshadowing the barbarity that would soon engulf Europe.
