Human Bullets is a book written by Tadayoshi Sakurai, a Japanese soldier who fought in the Battle of Port Arthur during the Russo-Japanese War. The book is a personal account of Sakurai’s experiences during the war, including his training, his time on the front lines, and his interactions with other soldiers and civilians. Sakurai vividly describes the horrors of war, including the brutality of hand-to-hand combat and the devastating effects of artillery fire. He also provides insights into the Japanese military culture of the time and the attitudes and beliefs of the soldiers who fought in the war. Overall, Human Bullets is a powerful and moving memoir that offers a unique perspective on one of the most significant conflicts of the early 20th century.1907.
