Published in Japanese in 1949, Citadel in Spring is, at its heart,
an autobiographical novel of the author's life from university
through induction into the Imperial Japan Navy, assignment to
intelligence service in China, and Japan's final defeat. In
addition to details of actual code-breaking activities, it also
paints grimly honest pictures of some of the fiercest naval battles
of the war, and the horrors of the Hiroshima atomic bombing. As a
witness to World War II and its effects on the people and culture
of Japan, this document--although cast as fiction--is a crucial
reminder of the real costs of war to a generation who have never
experienced it.
