b"Japan\\u2019s WWII development of a nuclear program is not universally known. But after decades of research into national intelligence archives both in the US and abroad, today\\u2019s guest Robert Wilcox builds on his earlier accounts and provides the most detailed account available of the creation of Japan\\u2019s version of our own Manhattan Project\\u2014from the project\\u2019s inception before America\\u2019s entry into WWII, to the possible detonation of a nuclear device in 1945 in present-day North Korea.
Wilcox, author of Japan's Secret War, weaves a portrait of the secret giant industrial complex in northern Korea where Japan\\u2019s atomic research and testing culminated. And it is there that North Korea, following the Japanese defeat, salvaged what remained of the complex and fashioned its own nuclear program.
