In a page-turning novel set during World War II, Japanese-American Lt. Ken Kobayashi must straddle a delicate line between duty to country and honor to his family as he is assigned by General Douglas MacArthur to infiltrate the Imperial Japanese Army in the lead-up to the American invasion of the Japanese archipelago.

From the deck of the U.S.S. Yorktown to the halls of the Imperial Ministry of War in Ichigaya in Tokyo, The Flowers of Edo reveals the intricacies of the military machine and the human and cultural price that was paid in the bombings on Japan through a perspective never before seen in fiction.
