Samurai by Shusaku Endo
Editorial Reviews Product Description This text documents the chivalry and valour of the combat aviator, Saburo Sakai, who fought American fighter pilots and, with 64 kills, would survive World War II as Japan's greatest living ace. This book traces his experiences from fighter-pilot school to the early Japanese victories; from his 600 mile fight for life from Guadalcanal to his base in Rabaul, to the story of the now handicapped veteran's return to the air during the final months of World War II. This book has been written by Martin Caidin from Saburo Sakai's own memoirs and journalist Fred Saito's interviews with the fighter pilot. --This text refers to the Paperback edition.Shusako Endo (1923-1996) is largely recognized as one of Japan's greatest late-twentieth-century authors and the country's premier Christian novelist. He received numerous major literary honors and was nominated for the Nobel Prize multiple times after his birth in 1923. Deep River, The Last Martyrs, A Life of Jesus, Scandal, Silence, and Wonderful Fool are among his novels that have been translated into 28 languages. Martin Scorsese's long-awaited cinematic adaptation of Silence is in the works and will be released in 2013.
