About this product
Product Information
Explores the history, construction, armament and tactics used by PT boats, and the development of the Japanese Kamikaze force and the role it played in the World War II. The author also examines the American production juggernaut and why, despite America's overwhelming production advantage, the Japanese believed that if their people possessed the proper will, they could still win the War.
