In this image from an Associated Press video, one volume of a two-volume, 173-page, post-World War II memoir composed by Japanese Emperor Hirohito is displayed at Bonhams Monday, Dec. 4, 2017, in New York. The document was dictated by the Emperor to aides after the war and transcribed word-for-word by a senior diplomat. It was created at the request of Gen. Douglas MacArthur, whose administration controlled Japan at the time. The memoir, also known as the imperial monologue, covers events from the Japanese assassination of Manchurian warlord Zhang Zuolin in 1928 to the emperor's surrender broadcast recorded on Aug. 14, 1945. It is expected to fetch between $100,000 and $150,000 at Bonhams' auction Dec. 6. (AP Photo/Joseph B. Frederick)
