At War With The Wind: The Epic Struggle With Japan'S World War Ii Suicide Bombers

POWERFUL. --H. Paul Jeffers, author of Command of Honor In the last days of World War II, a new and baffling weapon terrorized the United States 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. "THOROUGH AND VIVID." --John C. McManus, author of Island Inferno: The U.S. Army's Pacific War Odyssey, 1944 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 an attack by Japanese kamikazes. Acclaimed author David Sears draws on personal interviews and unprecedented research to create a narrative of war that is stunning in its vividness and unforgettable in its revelations. "MESMERIZING . . . THRILLING." --Kenneth Sewell, author of Red Star Rogue This is the candid story of a war within a war--a relentless series of furious and violent engagements pitting men determined to die against men determined to live. Its echoes resonate hauntingly at a time of global conflict, especially when suicide as a weapon remains a perplexing and terrifying reality.
