reviewed A Glorious Way to Die on
Good factual WWII story about the greatest Japanese battleship and the Japanese military decisions and economy toward the end of the war. Interesting stories and insight into the thinking re: kamakaze mentality and the culture of their military. It also gives some insight into the thinking and strategy of the U.S. naval forces in this final naval encounter.
