[edit] Minoru Genda

The long political career of Minoru Genda in the House of Councillors (spanning more than 20 years) is a greatly underappreciated facet of his career that is not well-known to those who are not specialists in postwar Japanese politics, despite the fact that he may well have exerted by far greater influence on Japan as a politician and a bureaucrat than as a military aviator.

For all the fame he accummulated as a mastermind of the Pearl Harbor attack, his political deeds (both in the Lockheed affair surrounding the adoption of the Lockheed Starfighter--masterfully accounted for by Michael Greene in his book on politics of military procument in postwar Japan, among others--and his involvement in the opposition to Japanese ratification of the Nuclear Nonproliferation Treaty (accounted for in several academic articles and contemporary newspaper accounts--I'll supply specific details if you need them.) are just as important--possibly more important--roles he played than his role in the Pearl Harbor attack.

I hope you don't take it the wrong way, but Genda's role as a postwar politician, at minimum, needs to be pointed out in a biography--and I don't see what parts of it "make no sense" as you so boldly claim.H27kim (talk) 00:56, 28 November 2007 (UTC)
