Il libro si presenta quindi come un trattato storico-biografico e quasi antropologico. In particolare per noi italiani che viviamo in questi anni fatti di inganni, truffe e sotterfugi questo libro apporta una lezione peculiare: l'importanza cioè di lottare per i propri ideali e crederci fino alla fine. Insomma un libro di grande attualità.
Interessantissimo ed appassionante l'ultimo capitolo dedicato ai piloti kamikaze.
Lettura consigliata a tutti i tipi di lettori, anche se, comunque, il tema trattato implica un certo impegno.

This is a very interesting book according to several points of view. The author, through the historic discussion about some Japanese warriors, samurai and other historic figures, describes how the idea of failure is embedded within the Japanese ethics. In particular failure is described as an aware and deliberate choice made coherently to personal values and principles: in this case failure is not something negative and disruptive but an example of nobility and real heroism.
This is an historical and antropological book: nonetheless for we italians there is also an important lesson to learn. In these material years of cheats, bribes, cynicism we can find some examples about the importance to fight for an ideal and ethical values.
The last chapter, devoted to kamikaze pilots in the 2nd World War, in my opinion is extremely interesting.
I thus suggest this book for all kind of readers even if the issues described are not always easy.
