About this Item

This edition clearly stamped as being "Made In Occupied Japan", but does not correspond to what I see in the OCLC listings. The author was a survivor of the battleship Yamato when it was sunk on 7 April 1945 during Operation Ten-Go, an attempt to support the defenders of Okinawa. The first edition was 1952, and the Occupation ended April 1952, so there is a very good chance this is the First. But I can't say with certainty. A classic of war literature!.
