Produktbeskrivning
An incredible, untold story of survival and acceptance that sheds light on one of the darkest chapters in Japanese history.
This book tells the story of Kazuo Odachi whoin 1943, when he was just 16 years-oldjoined the Imperial Japanese Navy to become a pilotA year later, he was unknowingly assigned to the Kamikaze Special Attack Corpsa group of airmen whose mission was to sacrifice their lives by crashing planes into enemy ships. Their callsign was "ten dead, zero alive."
By picking up Memoirs of a Kamikaze, readers will experience the hardships of fighter pilot trainingdipping and diving and watching as other trainees crash into nearby mountainsidesThey''ll witness the psychological trauma of coming to terms with death before each mission, and breathe a sigh of relief with Odachi when his last mission is cut short by Japan''s eventual surrender. They''ll feel the anger at a government and society that swept so much of the sacrifice under the rug in its desperation to rebuild.
Odachi''s innate "samurai spirit" carried him through childhood, WWII and his eventual life as a kendo instructor, police officer and detectiveHis attention to detail, unwavering self-discipline and impenetrably strong mind were often the difference between life and death. Odachi, who is now well into his nineties, kept his Kamikaze past a secret for most of his life. Seven decades later, he agreed to sit for nearly seventy hours of interviews with the authors of this bookwho know Odachi personally.
He felt it was his responsibility to finally reveal the truth about the Kamikaze pilots: that they were unsuspecting teenagers and young men asked to do the bidding of superior officers who were never held to account.
This book offers a new perspective on these infamous suicide pilotsIt is not a chronicle of war, nor is it a collection of research papers compiled by scholars. It is a transcript of Odachi''s words.
