“SUICIDE SQUADS” The untold stories of WWII fighting men who had one mission: to kill––and die. - By Richard O’Neil. In the long annals of warfare, no fighters have provoked more admiration and horror than the suicide squads of World War II. Soldiers, airman, and seamen who hurled themselves into battle knowing they would die for their cause and their country. From the smallest human torpedo to the world’s biggest battleship (Yamato), from the dreaded Japanese kamikaze pilots to the British X-craft submarines, here for the first time are the extraordinary machines and incredible motives of the men from all sides who deliberately gave their lives in the cause of war! While this book includes information from Italian, German and British wartime efforts, it’s main focus is on the massive Japanese suicide works of World War II. 1981 Ballantine Softbound. 301 pages, over 180 illustrations and black and white photographs. Countless diagrams and maps included. Large glossary and index. Impressive color cover artwork.
