Excellent and Informative

This is the first book I ever read on this subject and I was very impressed. This book does an excellent job at giving both a historical account of the various suicide attacks and exploring the mentality and strategy behind the suicide theory. The advantages and disadvantages of the different forms of suicide attack such as aircraft, submarines, boats, and piloted bombs are explored in detail. If you want to learn about the Japanese Kamikaze attacks at the end of World War 2, this is a good place to start.
