Resumen del Editor

Based on interviews conducted with the author’s father, this fictionalized account brings to life the true character of a man involved in the battle of Ten-Go, a Japanese kamikaze naval offensive. In the aftermath of the battle for Okinawa, Tommy has utterly changed, just like everyone else on board the USS Bataan. As a lieutenant commander and expert navigator, Tommy has long understood the horrors of this war and he has spent his military career battling both the enemy and the brass. With mathematical genius he has challenged military procedure, refined naval ballistics, and exposed flaws in U.S. antiaircraft firing strategy. And although the battle of Ten-Go resulted in an Allied victory, the death toll was high and Tommy’s best friend is among them. This is the story of a brilliant though reluctant warrior, a man who would go on to great success in industry - but would gladly give that success up to change the mind of one kamikaze.

Artfully written and read!

The author (and narrator) has artfully brought his incredible father to life in a masterful work of historical fiction that accurately tracks his father's journey from an impoverished farm boy to a Midshipman at the U.S. Naval Academy, then from serving as a gifted professor through an exciting and page-turning account of WWII battles in the Pacific theater, and finally through his post-war career and life afterward. Not just an amazing tribute by a son to a gifted father, but also a tale of perseverance, ingenuity, courage, and the importance of family that should resonate with anyone who values these timeless human attributes.
