Japanese Second World War commanders committed suicide, some were captured and executed, some went down with their sinking carriers. If you knew their stories, your perception about Japan may never be the same again. Japan's most decorated commanders of World War Two commiting sepukku - Japanese traditional suicide, battle-hardened Japanese Admirals going down with their scuttled ship, captains opting to die with their commanders, Kamikaze attacks where young pilots crash diving into enemy carriers - Japanese version of WW II is full of legendary heroism straight out of a fictional book but how many of us know the Japanese perspective of the bloodiest battle in the istory of mankind? Isoroku Yamamoto, Nagumo Chuichi, Hideki Tojo, Tamon Yamaguchi, Emperor Hirohito- all are familiar names of World War II literature but what was their really like? What were their intentions and aspirations? Did Japan really dream of world hegemony like the Allies feared? In that case, was America's decision to bomb Japanese cities justified? Can war be justified under any circumstance? Did Roosevelt give the "GET YAMAMOTO" message? Was Operation Vengeance a cold-blooded murder of Yamamoto the right revenge for the "sneaky" attack on Pearl Harbor? Read the book to know the least explored Japanese perspective of World War 2. History is written by the victors, but this is a story of the vanquished - the extraordinary story of WW 2 through a Japanese lens.
