Stan S. Katz is the author of the historical novel The Emperor and the Spy: The Secret Alliance to Prevent WWII, and the illustrated biography The Art of Peace: Prince Tokugawa Iesato, Heir to the Last Shogun of Japan. The Art of Peace general reader edition has been retitled: The Art of Diplomacy.
- Stan’s journey into writing began while he was the owner of two antiquarian bookstores, when he acquired the secret personal papers of a high ranking U.S. intelligence agent Sidney Mashbir. These fascinating primary source historical materials revealed a significant new perspective on U.S. Japan relations during the first half of the twentieth century. The Emperor and the Spy highlights the adventurous life of Colonel Mashbir who shaped history from behind-the-scenes. He took a major role in the Allied Victory in WWI. And during the two decades prior to WWII, Mashbir allied with many influential, peace loving Japanese leaders, in an attempt maintain goodwill between their nations. Two of Mashbir’s closest Japanese allies were Tokugawa Iesato and Shibusawa Eiichi. During his long military career, Mashbir served closely with General John J. Pershing, Admiral Ernest King, and General Douglas MacArthur. As one of MacArthur's closest intelligence advisors, Mashbir took a pivotal role in shortening WWII in the Pacific, and during the post-war Occupation of Japan he guided the Americans and Japanese to once again become strong allies.
