Více o knize
The narrative centers on the battleship Yamato, the pinnacle of Japan's naval power during World War II, embodying the samurai spirit of honor and sacrifice. As Japan faced dire straits in 1945, the ship symbolized the last hope of the Empire under Emperor Hirohito. Jan Morris explores the ship's dramatic journey from its secret launch to its doomed fate at Okinawa, using it as a metaphor for the dual nature of war—its grandeur and futility. The book weaves together naval history with artistic references, creating a poignant reflection on the costs of conflict.
