About this listen

Samurai! is the gripping autobiography of Saburō Sakai, one of Japan’s most renowned fighter pilots during World War II. Co-written with Fred Saito and Martin Caidin, the book chronicles Sakai’s rise from a poor rural upbringing to becoming an elite Zero pilot in the Imperial Japanese Navy.

With vivid detail and unflinching honesty, he recounts harrowing dogfights, the horrors of war, and his legendary 1,000-mile flight back to base after being grievously wounded.

More than just a war memoir, Samurai! offers rare insight into the mindset, discipline, and honor of a warrior shaped by both tradition and global conflict.

The story of Saburo Sakai’s life is fascinating, but you have to dig really deep to persevere with what has to be the worst narration of any audiobook I have ever listened to. Basic words are mispronounced, editing errors mean that sentences are often repeated and if you want a laugh, go to minute 12 where the narrator even curses themselves for messing it up yet again

Terrible Narration
