Description
Imperial Japan, in WWII, had become a shogunate dominated by the ancient samurai code of honor--that it is better to die than surrender. Vice Admiral Ugaki's fanatical suicide squad known as the "Divine Wind" would stave off defeat by giving even their lives. We also read about Admiral Onishi, a drinker and a gambler, and Lieutenant Seki obedient and loyal but tormented. Author, Warner, was a war correspondent aboard a ship that suffered 2 Kamidaze onslaughts and Commander Sadao Seno sub commander, vividly bring this story to life. We read here of a manned torpedo on its path to destruction, for the glory of Japan. Hear interviews from both sides of the conflict along with the impact and horror of attacks including chemical and biological weapons.
