As Japan joins in a political pact with Nazi Germany and fascist Italy, Admiral Isoroku Yamamoto is appointed supreme commander of the Japanese fleet. With Japan headed inexorably toward war, Yamamoto, despite his misgivings, believes the only possible victory lies in destroying the American fleet by surprise at Pearl Harbor. The attack succeeds, but fails to sink the American carrier fleet. Thus Yamamoto must lead the Japanese navy into war with ever-diminishing likelihood of success.

Admiral Isoroku Yamamoto (1884-1943) was the Japanese Naval commander who was given the order to attack Pearl Harbour, an order he was duty bound to obey which went against his own personal beliefs. While this infamous attack is a low point in Japanese and US history it wouldn’t have happened if the Japanese government had listened to Yamamoto in 1939 and searched for a more peaceful way to end their war campaign, proving his many ominous presages of the outcomes of the attack to come true.

A lavish retelling of the true story of the final voyage and ultimate destruction and sinking of the battleship Yamato, Japan's greatest flagship during the Second World War.

Lt. Koji Kitami is a navigator-bombardier in Japan's Naval Air Force. He participates in the Japanese raid on the U.S. Naval Base at Pearl Harbor in 1941 and is welcomed with pride in his hometown on his return. As Japan racks up victory after victory in the Pacific War, Kitami is caught up in the emotion of the time and fights courageously for the standard of Japanese honor. But his assuredness of his government's righteousness is shaken after the Japanese navy is defeated in the debacle of Midway.

本書の名称は「戦の屑籠、否戦藻録と命名」とはしがきにあり宇垣本人によるもの。1941年10月16日から1945年8月15日の死まで宇垣により続けられた陣中録。海軍甲事件で負傷した時期も宇垣の口述筆記で部下によって書き続けられた。 宇垣は軍の要職を歴任した人物であるため、第一級史的資料として見られる。彼の人生哲学、処世感、思考なども読める。「鉄仮面（黄金仮面）」とあだ名され喜怒哀楽を表さない冷血漢と見られた宇垣が亡妻を思いやるなど意外なほど家庭的な一面持っていたことなども読みとれるという。
