About this listen
Requiem for Battleship Yamato is Yoshida Mitsuru's story of his own experience as a junior naval officer aboard the fabled Japanese battleship as it set out on a last, desperate sortie in April 1945. Yoshida was on the bridge during Yamato's fatal encounter with American airplanes, and his eloquent, moving account of that battle makes a singular contribution to the literature of the Pacific war. The book has long been considered a classic in both Japan and the United States. As with most great battle stories, its ultimate concern is less bombs and bullets than human nature, less death than life.

Stunning
Absolutely incredible account of the final mission of Yamato, beautifully written and spoken. Yamato and her final mission is the stuff of legends, one way suicide mission and against all odds. Please take the time to listen to this, a must read if you are into WW2 history.
