Season 1 - Episode 2: Death Before Surrender
Air Date: December 5th, 2002
Summary: When World War Two turned against the Japanese, why did so many soldiers choose death rather than surrender? What was the motivation of the kamikaze pilots who flew planes into British and American ships? The second of two programmes features interviews with American Marines, British PoWs and Japanese veterans - some of them war criminals - and attempts to uncover the answers to these questions, and build a comprehensive portrait of a nation in crisis.
