by Robert K. Wilcox
After years of research based on material gathered by American intelligence during the occupation of Japan as well as extensive interviews with surviving participants, Robert Wilcox gives the first detailed account of Japan’s version of the Manhattan Project – from its earliest days to the possible testing of an actual weapon.
The story involves Japan’s leading scientists, including a future Nobel prize winner; a network of Spanish spies working in North America; and a German U-boat desperately trying to reach Japan with a cargo of uranium in the final days before the Third Reich’s collapse. But perhaps the most fascinating element is the giant industrial complex in northern Korea where the final aspects of the Japanese atomic research may have taken place.
When the Soviet army invaded Korea at the war’s end, they had the entire complex dismantled and shipped back to the Soviet Union. We can only speculate about the information they gained from it. This new edition includes recently unearthed research showing that the Japanese spent much more time on their atomic program than previously made public.

This is Robert K. Wilcox, author of Japan’s Secret War. I appreciate the review above but reader’s need to know I’ve written a new edition – a Third edition – just out that has much new information. It is a completely revised and enlarged edition, totally sourced. The older editions don’t have half the story or information this new one has. Here’s the URL.

Thank you.
Mary,
I heard about Mr. Wilcox and his book yesterday. Rick Adams interviewed him the first hour.
Mr. Wilcox’s website is posted there as well. I haven’t visited the site yet because I just realized he had a website.
Here it is for your, and whoever’s consideration:

thanks Hal !
What I want to know is “Who are you and where did this new story come from and are you just in it for the Mannon? I’m not going to buy your book, because does not matter at this time in history, write a book on the bill of right and how to be an American National.
here’s one: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2357824.The_Birth_of_the_Bill_of_Rights_1776_1791
Joe. I’m an author. I’ve written 12 published books, thousands of articles, and produced 30 scripts. Google my name – Robert K. Wilcox – if you need more. I’m a professional and, thankfully, I do well enough to pay my bills. But I’m not in it for the money. I’m in it because I believe in what I write. Good writing is too hard to do for any other reason. I posted this because of the confusion earlier editions can cause. The new edition is completely revised and updated and I didn’t want anyone interested to buy the older, lesser editions.
The book was written in 1985.
Hal. Robert K. Wilcox here, author of Japan’s Secret War. The FIRST edition of Japan’s Secret War was published in 1985. I went back and updated it with new information, and a SECOND edition was published in 1995. The Left still said it wasn’t true. Japan didn’t try to make an atomic bomb and America was unjustified in using an atomic bomb on Japan. The THIRD edition was just published this December. It puts to rest the Left’s contentions and conclusively shows that Japan vigorously tried to make an atomic bomb during WWII and would have used it on the invasion fleet. It also shows how North Korea took over their plants and that was the beginning of North Korea’s atomic program. I write this so anyone wishing to read the story will get the latest edition – not the one written in 1985.
PUT THESE ON THEIR 400 CLASS AIRCRAFT SUBS & HISTORY WOULD HAVE BEEN ALOT DIFFERENT…
ps WE RUSHED INTO SERVICE OUR “PROTOTYPES” THAT’S THE ONLY REASON THEY CAVED, THEY THOUGHT WE HAD MORE-WE BLUFFED…
Good points, Gary. Each true. But it’s also true that Japan’s program was buried in secrecy. They were the sole victims of a nuke attack and did not want the world to know they also tried to use one. We made a deal. Japan help us against the Soviets and we’ll keep their a-bomb program top secret. As a result, the problem now is that because that history was buried we don’t know all the hiding places for North Korean missiles, many of them in formerly underground plants and silos built by the Japanese. That could become dangerous if we ever had to target North Korean missiles. Some are still hidden in those unknown Japanese constructions. This isn’t me talking. It’s U.S. nuclear security people – all part of what is new in the 3rd edition of Japan’s Secret War.
THANKS, I APPRECIATE THE INSIGHT…THEM JAPS LOVED THEM TUNNELS…WHAT ISLAND (DOESN’T MATTER) THEY BUILT SO MANY, AND THEY WERE 2 FACED (IN/OUT) THEY COULD COME OUT FIRE/RUN AWAY .I WAS JUST SAYING “WITH THEM SUBS…”
