Vice-admiral Matome Ugaki of the Japanese navy kept a diary of his experiences during World War II down to his own fruitless suicide run after peace had been declared. It is this diary that forms the basis of Hoyt's book. Ugaki held a series of commands during the war, concluding with the depressing position of being in charge of kamikaze pilots and sending so many eager and promising young men to their deaths. Unlike his superior, Admiral Yamamoto, Ugaki was in favor of the war.
