Four months before the attack on Pearl Harbor—what they saw was the conclusion: 'Japan's inevitable defeat.' In April 1941, there existed an organization called the 'Total War Research Institute,' where elites from across Japan were secretly gathered. The 'best and brightest' of the next generation, selected from bureaucrats, the military, and the private sector, were tasked with 'predicting' the outcome of a war with the United States and other foreign powers. After accumulating vast amounts of data and repeatedly running simulations with anguish and passion, what they saw was a shocking scenario of Japan's 'overwhelming defeat'—one that predicted almost everything except the atomic bombings. Not a single bullet is fired. But here lies the harshest battlefield, where the mind is the weapon. Why did Japan charge into a war it knew it would lose? Now, the 'inconvenient truth' buried in history bares its fangs on the screen.
