Biography

Herbert Bix is recognized among Jewish contributors to Arts & Literature — Pulitzer Prize for Non-Fiction

How & why

Herbert P. Bix is an American historian of modern Japan whose book 'Hirohito and the Making of Modern Japan' won the 2001 Pulitzer Prize for General Non-Fiction, offering a landmark reassessment of the emperor's wartime role and responsibility. He taught for many years in both Japan and the United States. His scholarly record is well documented, but public biographies do not state a religious or ethnic identity, so no Jewish identity is asserted here.
