Description: In the last days of World War II a new and baffling weapon terrorized the United States Navy in the Pacific. To the sailors who learned to fear them the body - crashing warriors of Japan were known as 'suiciders'; among the Japanese they were named for a divine wind that once saved the home islands from invasion: kamikaze. Told from the perspective of the men who endured this horrifying tactic At War with the Wind is the first book to recount in nail - biting detail what it was like to experience an attack by Japanese kamikazes. Acclaimed author David Sears draws on personal interviews and unprecedented research to create a narrative of war that is stunning in its vividness and unforgettable in its revelations. This is the candid story of a war within a war - a relentless series of furious and violent engagements pitting men determined to die against men determined to live. Its echoes resonate hauntingly at a time of global conflict especially when suicide as a weapon remains a perplexing and terrifying reality.
