Samurai! Is the action-packed biography of Japan's greatest World War II fighter pilot. Here are the harrowing experiences of Saburo Sakai, one of Japan's most celebrated aces: from fighter pilot school Ñ where the harsh training expelled over half of his class Ñ to the thrilling early Japanese victories; from his incredible six-hundred-mile fight for life from Guadalcanal to his base in Rabaul, to the poignant story of the now-handicapped veteran's return to the air during the final desperate months of World War II.
