This work traces the extraordinary stories of German and Japanese radio broadcasters, John Amery, Charles Cousens, and Iva Toguri, who's war time choices became treason in Britain, Australia,
and the United States. Amery, a member of a highly respected and well-connected British family, joined Hitler's propagandists in Berlin and was executed for treason by Britain after the war.
Cousens, an Australian soldier in Japanese captivity, was put to work on Radio Tokyo, creating English language short wave programs with a team of Allied prisoners of War. He was later tried as
a traitor in Australia. Toguri, better known as "Tokyo Rose," was an American student caught in Japan visiting relatives when war broke out and broadcasted her English show on Radio Tokyo. The
United States jailed Toguri for treason. Through these three powerful stories, this work not only sheds new light on the history of wartime radio broadcasting in Germany and Japan, but also
examines the laws of treason in Britain, Australia, and the United States. These famous trials have marked significant changes in the realm of what is now considered wartime treason and the
impact of individual choices that lead to execution and imprisonment.
