"New Evidence Raises Questions About Patriotism and Betrayal: The Case of Iva Toguri, aka Tokyo Rose. Iva Toguri's wartime broadcasts, which mocked American troops and fueled anti-American sentiment in Japan, have long been seen as a symbol of treachery. But a new development has cast doubt on her claims of being held captive and forced to broadcast against her will, sparking a re-examination of her motivations and actions during World War II. As historians re-evaluate the complexities of her story, questions arise about what drove this enigmatic figure to become a notorious figure in American history."
At least Tokyo Rose (shown here in 1976 and ultimately pardoned by President Gerald Ford) could credibly claim she had been held in Japan against her will.
