520 |a "In 1970, at the peak of his brilliant literary career and immediately after completing his last novel, The Decay of the Angel, Yukio Mishima committed hara-kiri in a military headquarters in Tokyo. In a public speech, Mishima suggested he was making a political gesture, but that is too simple and explanation for a man who was obsessed with hara-kiri most of his life, not only writing about it but acting it in films. Henry Scott-Stokes, who was Tokyo bureau chief of the London Times when he became friendly with Mishima, spent three years searching for the true meaning of Mishima's death. As he reveals Mishima's childhood and youth, his start as a writer, his world travels, his contacts with the homosexual world, and setting up of his own private army, Scott-Stoke never loses sight of what he considers the key to the man, the writer's personal aesthetic"--Page 4 of cover.
