Sinopse

This is the fourth book in the Kenda Saga. This epic follows a young Japanese officer as he finds himself involved in combat during World War II. This is a story of how a naive and innocent young man faces death and the horrors of war. He must rely on his survival instincts and he must learn to do what he hates more than anything else.

Kenda finds a flaw in the American tactics and attempts to exploit it, but finds resistance from his own superiors along the way.
