1944, Japan is losing the war, but the military top brass, like many ordinary people zombified by years of militaristic propaganda, can't face the truth. They can't take responsibility for a war that has been lost and is now completely pointless. Private Maruyama, easily identifiable as Shigeru Mizuki himself, is part of a small unit that lands on a godforsaken island in the Pacific Ocean only to have their commanders decide a couple months later to throw the entire unit into a suicide attack and make an example of them. They were given orders to die. But not all were willing to part with their lives so senselessly. In this book there is a place not only heavy scenes of death, but also humor, ironic sketches of everyday army life, officer's gruel and soldier's stupidity. By masterfully combining drama and comedy, life and death, Shigeru Mizuki has created the most truthful and deeply personal story possible.
