Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 I met Kaname Harada, who was 93 years old and still active, at his private kindergarten in Nagano prefecture. He was one of the few aviators who experienced the war from the beginning to the end, and he was the only surviving member who flew during the USS Panay incident near Nanking in 1937. #2 Kaname Harada was born in 1916. He was the eldest of three children. His family farmed in the little town of Asakawamura in currentday Nagano city. He did well in school, was athletic, and tough. As a child, he was nursed on tales of his grandfather’s experience as the last generation of the samurai class. #3 In 1931, Japan owned a large and prosperous venture in the continent of Asia called the South Manchurian Railway. The railway line was received from Imperial Russia as a form of war reparations following the war of 1905. The Japanese had brought in large numbers of employees and their families to work the railroad. The potential for growth was enormous, but the area was often unstable. #4 In 1933, sixteenyearold Harada joined the Navy to see the world. He was assigned to the destroyer Ushio as a lowly seaman third class, and he heard tales from the older sailors about their experiences fighting in the Chang River area during the 1932 Shanghai Incident.

"This book is a compilation of my interviews with Japanese survivors of the battle, and the family members of those who died during the battle, or since. I promised to tell their stories with no political correctness or modern day revisionism. I added historical references and context to help illsutrate their extraordinary eyewitness accounts."--Author's comments
The Last Lecture
After being diagnosed with terminal cancer, a professor shares the lessons he's learned—about living in the present, building a legacy, and taking full advantage of the time you have—in this life-changing classic. "We cannot change the cards we are dealt, just how we play the hand." —Randy Pausch A lot of professors give talks titled "The Last Lecture." Professors are asked to consider their demise and to ruminate on what matters most to them. And while they speak, audiences can't help but mull over the same question: What wisdom would we impart to the world if we knew it was our last chance? If we had to vanish tomorrow, what would we want as our legacy? When Randy Pausch, a computer science professor at Carnegie Mellon, was asked to give such a lecture, he didn't have to imagine it as his last, since he had recently been diagnosed with terminal cancer. But the lecture he gave—"Really Achieving Your Childhood Dreams"—wasn't about dying. It was about the importance of overcoming obstacles, of enabling the dreams of others, of seizing every moment (because "time is all you have . . . and you may find one day that you have less than you think"). It was a summation of everything Randy had come to believe. It was about living. In this book, Randy Pausch has combined the humor, inspiration and intelligence that made his lecture such a phenomenon and given it an indelible form. It is a book that will be shared for generations to come.
