[Machine Translation] The Japanese people, whose national identity evaporated in defeat, have lost their spiritual home. What will it take for them to regain their "homeland"? Many of the soldiers who fought for their children, their families, their country, and their hometowns in the last war were originally ordinary people, such as businessmen, teachers, and farmers. What feelings did they have when they took up arms? This is a nonfiction book about the repose of their souls, based on careful interviews with the soldiers themselves and their bereaved families.
