Summary:

Kamikaze: Documents the Pacific War through Allied and Japanese newsreel film, beginning with Japanese preparations before the bombing of Pearl Harbor and ending with the U.S. dropping the atomic bombs on Nagasaki and Hiroshima. Includes footage on the Japanese home front before Pearl Harbor and raises questions as to why the U.S. was not aware that Pearl Harbor might be bombed. Evidence is given that enemy planes were sighted earlier and messages were decoded, both in time to give plenty of warning.
