Synopsis
Excerpt from Human Bullets: A Soldier's Story of Port Arthur
Uch is being said just now about the Japan M ese as a war-loving nation, likely to become aggressors in the struggle for the control of the Pacific. This little book of Lieutenant Sakurai's will, perhaps, help to set us right in regard to the spirit in which the Japanese soldier fights. The story was told originally, not for a foreign audience, but to give to his own countrymen a true picture of the lives and deaths, the joys and sorrows, of the men who took Port Arthur. Its enthusiastic recep tion in Japan, where forty thousand copies were sold within the first year, is the justification of translator and editor in offering it to the American public.

Human Bullets: A Soldier's Story of Port Arthur (Classic Reprint)
Print on DemandSeller: Forgotten Books, London, United Kingdom
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book recounts the experiences of a Japanese soldier during the Siege of Port Arthur, a key battle in the Russo-Japanese War of 1904-1905. The author, a young lieutenant, provides a raw and deeply personal account of the campaign, from the initial mobilization and departure from Japan to the perilous landing in Liaotung and the eventual capture of the fortress. He offers vivid descriptions of the brutality of warfare and the camaraderie forged in the face of hardship and death. The author delves into the psychological complexities of combat, exploring themes of loyalty, sacrifice, and the unwavering spirit of the Japanese warrior, known as *Yamato-damashii*. The book highlights the contrast between the Japanese army, driven by a deep sense of national duty, and the Russian forces, perceived as lacking in morale and fighting for material gain. This intimate narrative sheds light on the human cost of war and the profound impact of nationalistic fervor on the battlefield.
