Death March on Mount Hakkoda: A Documentary Novel

In a military training mission gone tragically wrong, 210 soldiers ascend Mount Hakkoda in the dead of winter and only eleven return. This fictionalized account of a true incident remains one of Japan’s most poignant stories about soldiers’ courage and the dangers of reckless leadership.

Jiro Nitta (1912 — 80) was one of Japan’s most popular authors and a winner of the Naoki Prize.
