The ineffectiveness of conventional air attacks on US Navy surface
ships, particularly heavily defended targets like carrier task
groups, forced the Japanese to re-evaluate their tactics in late
1944. The solution they arrived at was simple - crash their
aircraft into American ships. This notion of self-sacrifice fit
well within the Japanese warrior psyche and proved terrifying to
the American sailors subjected to it. These tactics brought
immediate results, and proved effective until the end of the war.
This book examines this terrifying new way of waging war, revealing
how the US Navy was forced to adapt its tactics and deploy new
weapons to counter the threat posed by kamikaze attacks, as well as
assessing whether the damage caused to American naval strength by
the loss of so many pilots and aircraft actually had a material
impact.
