"Fires on the Plain" by Ooka Shohei was a novel about the disintegration of the Japanese Army in the Philippines while being pushed back by the Americans. It touches on the Samurai unwillingness to surrender, and is affecting, but rather grim.

Edit: Whoops, neither seem to be available as ebooks from Amazon. I had read them a long time ago, and assumed they would show up. :P
