God's Samurai is the unusual story of Mitsuo Fuchida, the career
aviator who led the attack on Pearl Harbor and participated in most of
the fiercest battles of the Pacific war. A valuable record of major
events, it is also the personal story of a man swept along by his times.
Reared in the vanished culture of early twentieth-century Japan, war
hero Fuchida returned home to become a simple farmer. After a scandalous
love affair came his remarkable conversion to Christianity and years of
touring the world as an evangelist. His tale is an informative, personal
look at the war "from the other side."
