Stewart’s book explores the chilling mindset behind Japan’s Kamikaze attacks, rooted in the samurai tradition of absolute loyalty and self-sacrifice. From Leyte Gulf through the Philippines to the climactic Battle of Okinawa, Allied forces faced waves of deliberate suicide attacks that stunned and terrorised them. Over 1,000 Kamikaze pilots perished, inflicting devastating losses of ships and lives. With vivid, often shocking detail, this book reveals the strategy, fanaticism, and human cost of one of the most extreme expressions of wartime devotion in history
