Good factual WWII story about the greatest Japanese battleship and the Japanese military decisions and economy toward the end of the war. Interesting stories and insight into the thinking re: kamakaze mentality and the culture of their military. It also gives some insight into the thinking and strategy of the U.S. naval forces in this final naval encounter.
