| Entry Text: | EADON, Stuart. Kamikaze: The Story of the British Pacific Fleet. [vi], 831p., bibliog., illus., index. Bristol: Crécy, 1995. ISBN: 0947554610.
First published in 1991, this is a hugely expanded oral history of the British Pacific Fleet. Incidents from over 60 ships are recalled. There is a substantial section on the growth of the Japanese empire pre-war and on its morality and a long coda on the fate of the ships of the British Pacific Fleet, while extracts from various monographs are worked into the text. Although slightly eccentric as a work it is carefully edited and shrewdly linked. |
