Kamikaze-related new book

[Doug Millison]

Title: Ohnuki-Tierney, Emiko: Kamikaze, Cherry
Blossoms, and
Nationalisms
Publisher: University of Chicago Press

Drawing on diaries never before  published in English,
Ohnuki-Tierney
describes these young men's  agonies and even defiance
against the
imperial ideology. Passionately  devoted to
cosmopolitan intellectual
traditions, the pilots saw the  cherry blossom not in
militaristic
terms, but as a symbol of the  painful beauty and
unresolved
ambiguities of their tragically brief  lives.
