About this product
Product Information
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.

Reviews
Praise for AT WAR WITH THE WIND: "[Sears] writes affectingly of the terror the "divine wind" campaign ...Sears does a particularly good job of bringing in the various voices of the fast-dwindling corps of American survivors of hellish engagements at Leyte and Okinawa, among other places...of considerable interest to students of the Pacific War." -- Kirkus Reviews "A work of power and passion . . . The finest account of the American reaction to the furious suicide raids that attempted to turn the course of the War in the Pacific." -- Donald L. Miller, author of D-Days in the Pacific "A real stunner . . . A superb narrative of life, death, and incredible heroism." -- Jim Hartz, former host of "Today" "Thorough and vivid . . . A timely, absorbing book." -- John C. McManus, author of Alamo in the Ardennes "Gripping naval combat writing . . . Sears pulls no punches in this powerful account of the sheer terror that was kamikaze warfare." -- M. G. Sheftall, author of Blossoms in the Wind "Mesmerizing . . . With history like this, who needs fiction? Simply thrilling." -- Kenneth Sewell, author of Red Star Rogue "Powerful . . . David Sears salutes American heroism in the bleakest days of the war." -- H. Paul Jeffers, author of Command of Honor "Gripping . . . Sears puts readers beside the heroic American sailors in the bull's eye." -- Jerome Preisler, author of All Hands Down "Well-researched . . . a must for World War II book aficionados." -- Steve Jackson, author of Lucky Lady
