I'd like to know more about the Caidin-Sakai wrangle!


Dan, I know Sakai autographed copies of the book later in life, but in the
years shortly after it was released in America, Saburo Sakai *hated* it and
would always make comments about "the things other people had inserted" into
it. With both men gone, its all moot now, but I would imagine the inaccuracies
came from other people, not Sakai - he was all about honor and duty and would
not have padded his own remarkable story. There was simply no need for him to
do so.
