MacMillan Publishing Co., New York (1974). Collectible, Fine/Very Good. Octavo, hardcover, fine in near fine green and black pictorial dj. First American Edition. 212 pages. Illustrated. Appendix. The first inside story of legendary suicide squads of World War II ("Knights of the Divine Wind"). This author's contemplation of death has a philosophical tone, but at times he seems to be looking back on past events rather than describing his feelings and opinions during the war. . . Nagatsuka's in-depth account of his fears and inner struggles as he faces impending death makes this a valuable primary source to understand the psychology of the kamikaze pilots. ".
