Title: #History: President Gerald Ford Pardons "Tokyo Rose" (1977)
Post by: TFD on Jan 19, 2015, 09:31 AM
During World War II, Allied forces in the South Pacific dubbed a group of English-speaking female radio broadcasters airing Japanese propaganda "Tokyo Rose." After the war, the name became most closely associated with Japanese-American radio host Iva Toguri D'Aquino. She was convicted of treason in 1949. Decades later, investigative journalists found that key witnesses had lied during her trial, leading President Ford to pardon her. What stage name did D'Aquino often use in her broadcasts?
