    Kazuo Odachi , Shigeru Ohta (Author), Hiroyoshi Nishijima (Author), Alexander Bennett (Translator) & 1 more Historical Editorial Review

    Former Kamikaze pilot, Kazuo Odachi, shares his deeply tragic account of his journey during and after WWII. The book provides an emotional rollercoaster and portrays the physical deprivations faced by these pilots fulfilling their hopeless duty. Odachi's story as a police officer in post-war Japan, aided by his practice of Kendo, sheds light on the unimaginable burden placed on these young men. This book is a must-read for anyone seeking to understand the long-term effects of the Kamikaze experience.

    Pros

    • Beautifully written account
    • Provides insight into the emotional and physical challenges faced by Kamikaze pilots
    • Sheds light on the long-term effects of the Kamikaze experience

    Cons

    • Second half of the book focuses on the author's career as a police officer and involvement in Kendo, which may be less compelling to some readers
