Captain Jim Geary, a highly decorated U.S. Army infantry officer, believes his war is finally over when Japan surrenders. Instead, he is swept into a new conflict as General Douglas MacArthur launches the occupation and reconstruction of Japan.
Because of his intelligence experience and the years he spent in Tokyo as the son of an American diplomat, Jim is assigned to the newly formed Counter Intelligence Corps. As he witnesses the devastation left in the wake of the Pacific War and pursues those responsible for wartime atrocities, he quickly discovers that peace brings its own battles.
After a confrontation with a superior officer, Jim receives an unexpected reassignment: investigating and arresting Iva Toguri-the UCLA-educated American woman known to Allied troops as Tokyo Rose.
As political pressure mounts and the American public demands a conviction, Jim finds himself caught between duty and conscience. Should he defend the constitutional rights of a woman whose guilt remains unproven, or yield to a government determined to make an example of her?
Set against the turbulent early days of the American occupation of Japan and the political tensions that foreshadow the McCarthy Era, Treason's Time: Tokyo Rose and the Birth of the McCarthy Era is historical fiction inspired by real events. Blending meticulous historical detail with grand jury drama, political intrigue, and profound moral questions, it explores the cost of justice in the aftermath of war-and echoes a timeless warning: Beware of a country that has just won a war.
