In the last days of World War Two, a new and baffling weapon terrorised the US Navy in the Pacific. To the sailors who learned to fear them, the body-crashing warriors of Japan were known as suiciders.

Told from the perspective of the men who endured this horrifying tactic, David Sears' book is the first to recount in nail-biting detail what it was like to experience a kamikaze attack.
