Long recognized as a core book in any study of Japanese culture and
literature, The Nobility of Failure examines the lives and deaths
of nine historical individuals who faced overwhelming odds, and,
realizing they were doomed, accepted their fate--to be killed in
battle or by execution, to wither in exile, or to escape through
ritual suicide. Morris then turns his attention to the kamikaze
pilots of World War II, who gave their lives in defense of their
nation in the full realization that their deaths would have little
effect on the course of the war. Through detail, crystal-clear
prose and unmatched narrative sweep and brilliance, Professor
Morris takes you into the innermost hearts of the Japanese people.
