A ROGUE'S GALLERY OF JAPANESE WAR CRIMINALS, arranged in two long rows of mug shots. The International Military Tribunal, Far East, was the Pacific Theatre counter-part to the Nuremberg trials. Here, the Americans and British tried the major architects and leaders of Japan's massive campaign of aggression that stretched from 1937 to 1945, claiming the lives of millions of Japanese, Chinese, Koreans and Southeast Asians. The tribunal met from May 1946 to November 1948. Tojo and six others were sentenced to death. Sixteen received life prison terms, three of whom died in prison while the remainder were paroled in 1955. Over 5,000 additional defendants were tried, mostly for abuse of prisoners of war.
