Reviews
"A powerful tale about how an intersection of youth, patriotism and sacrifice ended in a fiery, suicidal assault on an American warship. More than recounting a battle, this is a very human story that relives one of the most painful episodes of World War II."-James P. Delgado, Author of Silent Killers: Submarines and Underwater Warfare and Khublai Khan's Lost Fleet: In Search of a Legendary Armada "Mair and Waldron masterfully interweave World War II documents, interviews, and oral histories of two opposing nations in mortal conflict to create a rare and intimate view of the Pacific War that provokes the reader to rethink the boundaries of individual courage and national patriotism."-Larry E. Murphy, Chief (retired), Submerged Resources Center, National Park Service "A crisp, persuasive narrative about a little-known, but startling World War II attack…Mair and Waldron portray the story from both perspectives, constantly building to a dramatic, fiery crescendo. Their profiles of American and Japanese sailors add poignancy to a compelling story of battle disaster, death and survival."-David Sears, Author of Pacific Air and At War with the Wind "This doomed mission almost became lost in history after the atomic explosions at Hiroshima and Nagasaki. But the authors of Kaiten have pulled together the story, and populated it with flesh-and-blood warriors on both sides of the conflict…This book can take its place alongside Shadow Divers and Unbroken as a graphic, living story from the worst war the world has ever known."-Richard McCord, Journalist, Editor and Publisher of the Santa Fe Reporter and Author of The Chain Gang: One Newspaper versus the Gannett Empire "If you like reading history with the details to bring it to back to life, you'll enjoy Kaiten ."-Ralph Wilbanks, underwater archaeologist and NUMA expedition leader

Synopsis
In November 1944, the U.S. Navy fleet lay at anchor in Ulithi Harbor, deep in the Pacific Ocean, when the oiler USS" Mississinewa" erupted in a ball of flames. Japan s secret weapon, the "Kaiten" a manned suicide submarine had succeeded in its first mission. The "Kaiten" was so secret that even Japanese naval commanders didn t know of its existence. And the Americans kept it secret as well. Embarrassed by the shocking surprise attack, the U.S. Navy refused to salvage or inspect the sunken Mighty Miss. Only decades later would the survivors understand what really happened at Ulithi, when a diving team located the wreck in 2001. In "Kaiten," Michael Mair and Joy Waldron tell the full story from both sides, from the strategic importance of the USS" Mississinewa" to newly revealed secrets of the "Kaiten" development and training schools. U.S. Navy survivors recount their gripping experiences in the wake of the attack, as well as the harrowing recovery efforts that came later. Japanese pilots reveal their terrifying experiences training to die for their country and Emperor, never knowing when their moment of doom would come.

- u***s (77)- 買家留下的信用評價。過去 1 個月購買已獲認證Small lithograph arrived in generally good condition. Although packaged very carefully, the lower left corner was slightly pushed in, but not a huge concern. It will flatten with pressure and time. Generally satisfied with the purchase and the actions of the seller.
