Military/War

In the last days of World War II, a new and baffling weapon terrorised the US Navy in the Pacific. To the sailors who learned to fear them, the body-crashing warriors of Japan were known as "suiciders".
Among the Japanese they were named for a divine wind that once saved the home islands from invasion: kamikaze.
Told from the perspective of the men who endured this horrifying tactic, At War with the Wind is the first book to recount in nail-biting detail what it was like to experience a kamikaze attack. It draws on personal interviews and unprecedented research to create a stunning and vivid narrative of war.
