Fighting Elites: Kamikaze (1990) By David Brown
Out of the sun they came, Japan's suicide samurai, diving down fast to explode in death and destruction as they hit the decks of Allied warships. There was no turning back, no hope of survival. Was it a needless sacrifice, a panic strategy in the last, losing days of the war? Or was it a valid military tactic, born of a centuries-old belief in the sanctity of Imperial Japan?
An account of the kamikaze suicide attacks on US vessels carried out by young Japanese pilots at the end of World War Two, including an examination of the origins and motives for Japan's fatal campaign.
