Bataan Death March creator on trial...
CHICAGO DAILY TRIBUNE, Jan. 3, 1946
- General Masaharu Homma
- Bataan Death March trial
- Japanese Army leader
The front page has a great banner headline: "OPEN TRIAL OF GEN. HOMMA" with subhead and small photo. (see)
Complete with all 30 pages, light toning at the margins, small library stamp within the masthead, small binding holes along the spine, generally nice.
