Suicide Squads

The men and machines of world war II special operations

 

Richard O'Neill

In a detailed exploration of the hazardous 'Special Attack' weapons and forces of World War II, Suicide Squads examines the role of explosive motorboats, midget submarines, human torpedoes and kamikaze aircraft. In addition to weapon development, Richard 0' Neill describes the actions themselves including Pearl Harbor, the raid on Sydney Harbour and special forces missions at Guadalcanal, Midway and Okinawa.

The bravery of the men from all sides who went to war in suicidal or near-suicidal weapons cannot be overestimated. The story of these special attack forces remains a testimony to ingenuity, desperation and courage.
