“A GLORIOUS WAY To DIE” The Kamikaze Mission of the Battleship Yamato, April 1945. By Russell Spurr. The Yamato was the largest and most powerful battleship ever built. Assembled in secrecy before World War II, the massive 72,000-ton super ship boasted nine, 18-inch guns in three giant turrets. The warship quickly became the pride of the Imperial Japanese Navy. Surviving the Battle at Leyte Gulf in October 1944, the Japanese sent Yamato on a one-way Kamikaze mission in April 1945. Yamato was to hurl herself at the invading Allied vessels at Okinawa and destroy as many ships as possible. Russell Spurr tells the true story of the mighty Yamato, from her launching to the disastrous sinking at the hands of the Allies. Paperback edition. 341 pages, 17 black and white photos, maps, 2 diagrams of Yamato and index.
