This collection of kamikaze pilot diaries aims to challenge Western perceptions of the kamikaze generation. By assembling brief biographies of some of the young Japanese who perished on suicide missions, and by quoting extensively from their wartime diaries and poetry, the author portrays a group of literate, thoughtful people, most of whom hated the war and were reluctant to die.
