Sword of Sand

Collection in which most of the stories take place at the end of the Second World War. Higa gives us an inside look at the battle of Okinawa, from the first signs to the consequences, through different points of view of inhabitants, soldiers, Japanese and American, in this war where there is neither good nor evil, neither good nor bad, only a cruel feeling of absurdity. The men are in turn overwhelmingly stupid, full of wisdom or infinitely touching in their humanity.
