But on the other side of the world, the Allies were still engaged in a bitter struggle to control the Pacific. And it was then that the Japanese unleashed a terrible new form of warfare: the suicide pilots, or Kamikaze. Drawing on meticulous research and unique personal access to the remaining survivors, journalist Will Iredale follows a group of young men from the moment they signed up through their initial training to the terrifying reality of fighting against pilots who, in the cruel last summer of the war, chose death rather than risk their country's dishonorable defeat---and deliberately flew their planes into Allied aircraft carriers. 610 10 $a Japan. $b Kamikaze Tokubetsu KoÌgekitai. $b Kamikaze Tokubetsu KoÌgekitai. 610 17 $a Japan. $b Kamikaze Tokubetsu KoÌgekitai. $b Kamikaze Tokubetsu KoÌgekitai. $0 (OCoLC)fst00567971. $2 fast 611 27 $a World War (1939-1945) $0 (OCoLC)fst01180924. $2 fast 650 0 $a World War, 1939-1945 $x Aerial operations, Japanese. 650 0 $a Kamikaze pilots $x History. 650 0 $a World War, 1939-1945 $x Campaigns $z Pacific Area. 650 0 $a World War, 1939-1945 $x Naval operations, American. 650 0 $a Warships $z United States $x History $y 20th century. 650 7 $a Kamikaze pilots. $0 (OCoLC)fst00985936. $2 fast 650 7 $a Military campaigns. $0 (OCoLC)fst01710190. $2 fast 650 7 $a Military operations, Aerial $x Japanese. $0 (OCoLC)fst01710219. $2 fast 650 7 $a Military operations, Naval $x American. $0 (OCoLC)fst01710245. $2 fast 650 7 $a Warships. $0 (OCoLC)fst01170862. $2 fast 651 7 $a Pacific Area. $0 (OCoLC)fst01243504. $2 fast 651 7 $a United States. $0 (OCoLC)fst01204155. $2 fast 648 7 $a 1900 - 1999. $2 fast 655 7 $a History. $0 (OCoLC)fst01411628. $2 fast 941 $a 2 952 $l DFPC353 $d 20240430020456.0 952 $l MXPG943 $d 20180720050142.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=10A4F0DA8BE611E8B24E8D0097128E48 994 $a C0 $b IO4Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
