Synopsis: From the Foreword by Captain Edward L. Beach, U.S. Navy (Ret.) "Madness!" cries Werner, and it was madness. But there were heroes, too, who deserve admiration even though their cause was wrong.... No one can fault the warrior who believes in his country so strongly that he dies for it.... Because their leaders told them so, they believed that if they fought desperately, they might save their country from the disaster plainly grinding in from every side. They expected death, and most of them found it, but they fought hard all the same, and they carpeted the ocean floor with their bodies.
