PROS: A fascinating story that opened my eyes to the political climate in Japan in the years leading up to WWII. Ozaki left behind many writings, allowing Johnson to really get into the head of the man and understand his beliefs and motives.
CONS: It takes about 2/3 of the book to get into the actual story of the espionage team Ozaki was a part of.
