-Caveat Lector- from: http://www.lvcybermall.com/book <A HREF="http://www.lvcybermall.com/book/">The Gold of the Sun</A> ----- The Gold of the Sun (Based Upon an Incredible Story) By Mark O'Brien Copyright 1996 by Mark O'Brien On April 4, 1978, Jack Anderson of the Washington Post, a renowned syndicated columnist, and Hank Greenspun, the publisher of the Las Vegas Sun newspapers, simultaneously wrote a lengthy series of articles. It immediately became national and international news. This author was responsible for supplying the U.S. State Department with the documents and tapes and for coordinating the release of those articles in 1978. The events in this story are real, and are supported by over 60,000 documents and countless hours of audio and video tape. It is the result of 21 years of research and the writer's personal involvement during those years. Many of the historical characters are real people who were themselves involved in many of the events. It was necessary to change the names of some of the players since they are still living and to protect their privacy. There are no adjectives in the dictionary which adequately describe the story that is going to follow. To say it is incredible is a gross understatement. It is the ultimate story of the greed of mankind. It is the story of unheard of wealth gathered at the expense of the blood and suffering of hundreds of millions of people, and the death of no less than ten million of them. The story includes most of the historical figures of recent history. It is wrought with intrigue, murders, conspiracies, covert activities of the CIA and the former OSS. There are no real heroes in this story and as it unfolds the readers will find themselves re-evaluating their opinions of the war with Japan and of many of the players. The final chapter of this story cannot be written. It is still ongoing. A lot has been written about the atrocities and the motives of Germany before and during the Second World War. To a much lesser degree there have been some excellent books written about the Japanese war but none have addressed the real reasons behind why Japan was so suicidal. Until Now! It is all about treasure, treasure that still exists. We all know about the German extermination camps and the wholesale slaughter of the Jews Gypsies and other ethnic groups. More than half a century after the war our collective memories of the Japanese atrocities is limited to the Rape of Nanking in China and the infamous Death March from Bataan in the Philippines.

In fact it is not about the war itself. It is set against the background of the war so the events that are depicted are historically accurate. What this story will reveal is the secondary motive of the Japanese in launching their war. More importantly it will reveal a secret plan to finance the war. It will reveal much more. Emperor Hirohito and other top Japanese military and civilians knew that a protracted war with America could not be won. Knowing this and after launching their sneak attack on Pearl Harbor they found themselves in a Catch-22 situation; to surrender was not an option. By the end of 1942 the Japanese hierarchy were faced with the reality of defeat. They had two options: 1) Cause the Americans so many casualties that they would lose heart and agree to a peace treaty which would allow Japan to retain most of the countries that they had overrun; and 2) hide the treasures that they had amassed from those countries to pay for rebuilding Japan after the war. The story starts in late November 1936 in Manchuria where the plans were implemented. Under the Emperor's direction a special team was developed to pillage the countries they invaded or annexed of all of their treasures. When Japan openly declared war on China in 1937 this team was put to work. What followed was eight years of theft and the destruction of national treasures that made the Germans look like petty thieves. The story spans a period of sixty years and is broken down into four books: 1) The war years, 1936-1945. 2) The aftermath of the war years now centering on the Philippine Islands where this treasure was ultimately hidden, 1946-1960. 3) The Ferdinand Marcos years, 1960-1986. 4) The recovery years and the coverup, 1986 to the present. This is a tale of treasure. It is a story of the secret wealth of a continent; solid-gold Buddhas and jewel-encrusted heirlooms, diamonds, rubies and emeralds, silver and platinum. But above all gold--huge hoards of gold--plundered from dozens of conquered lands and buried beneath the steamy jungles of a Pacific island nation. It is the story of the people who hid it: the Emperor, the princes and generals, the collaborators and crime lords, and the thousands of prisoners of war who were forced to dig cavernous tunnels and were then buried alive with the booty. It is the story of the people who sought it: from paupers to presidents and psychics to sycophants. You will meet CIA spies, Mafia hitmen and secret policemen, shadowy brokers and world-renowned bankers, all linked in the quest of this hoard.

It is the story of how much was recovered and how it was used; billions spent for personal possessions and political pursuits, the funding of clandestine military operations, the laundering of drug money, the support of dictators and the overthrow of governments. It is the story of the betrayal of some of our famous twentieth century heroes; our generals and presidents, our industrialists and bankers, the secret organizations, and the far-right who hoped to form a military-industrial complex that would control the world. It is the story of greed and generosity, of courage and cowardice, of ignominy and integrity, in short, of all the traits that make us all human. Above all, it is a tale of treasure Book Number One has been written. Double spaced it is 10 chapters & 298 pages in length. It covers the years from 1936 to 1945.
