[Stephen Kinzer, 'Poisoner In Chief' page 26 - 27] Japanese police officers, acting on orders from the Counterintelligence Corps, found Shiro Ishii living almost openly in his hometown and arrested him. On January 17, 1946, he was brought to Tokyo. He was installed in his daughter's home on a small street. Over the next four weeks, he sat willingly for interviews with a Camp Detrick scientist. They were informal and at times even genial. "He literally begged my father for top-secret data on germ weapons," Ishii's daughter later recalled. "At the same time, he emphasized that the data must not fall inot the hands of the Russians."[Page 29] During the war years, Kurt Blome and Shiro Ishii had known of, admired, and encouraged each other's work. Designs of their medial torture centers were remarkably similar. When the Axis was finally defeated in 1945, it was reasonable to expect that they would share the same fate. So they did-- but not the fate they might have feared. Scientists from Camp Detrick had rescued Ishii. Now they must find a way to rescue Blome.
