On October 25, 1944, the Imperial Headquarters in Tokyo announced the creation of a special naval unit - the kamikaze, so named in memory of the "divine wind" - a powerful hurricane that saved Japan from the Mongol invasion. The authors of the book are servicemen of this unit, participants in the events described. The book provides a comprehensive analysis of the reasons why the Japanese command was forced to resort to the unprecedented practice of using suicide pilots, talks about the everyday life of kamikazes, and provides excerpts from their farewell letters to family and friends.
