Bonzai!!!

That is what the Japanese yelled at U.S. troops when they ran at them with their long swords in suicide attacks. I just finished code talkers and this happens a lot. The U.S. troops and the Navajo code talkers are fighting island to island with the Japanese. One of the islands they go to is Iwo Jima. The Japanese are fierce and just run at the soldiers out of no where with these razor sharp blades. The book also describes the horrendous conditions of the islands like the heat, the bugs/insects, the rain, and humidity. It would be truely horrible to have to survive and fight a war like that. Overall the book was good and I liked its descriptions of war. Now I want to see the movie Windtalkers.
