Author Description

In the final, climactic months of the Second World War in the Pacific, the Japanese High Command initiated a desperate plan to halt the American advance toward the home islands of Japan. Realizing that they could not fight off the American air superiority with their few remaining trained pilots, they committed unseasoned, barely trained pilots to a new tactic, kamikaze, suicide bombing attacks on the ships of the American fleet. In this new novel, "The Dignity of Danger," Everard Meade takes you into the smoke and flame of the terrifying battles that ensued. One minute you're in a Japanese plane searching for a target, the next minute you're aboard the carrier preparing to receive the suicider with guns blazing.
