- Synopsis
- A historical novel based on the true story of the Japanese pilot who led the attack on Pearl Harbor in World War II—and the unlikely turn his life took. Fuming with a hatred for Americans and a strong sense of national and racial pride, Mitsuo Fuchida allows an intense passion and determination to lead him through the ranks of the Japanese Navy, and reaches a position he always knew he would achieve. Jake DeShazer joins the U.S. Army as a bombardier, burning with vengeance after the attack on Pearl Harbor. He spends years as a POW, battling insanity in solitary confinement, until he discovers the secret to change. The Covells, an American family of missionaries in Japan, flees the country to the Philippines. When they do, the oldest daughter, Peggy, becomes intertwined with someone unexpected, and unknowingly impacts the course of his life forever. Three seemingly unrelated wartime narratives come together in this well-researched, incredibly thorough fictionalized historical account of the attack on Pearl Harbor in 1941. This vivid tale lets you watch the story unfold before, during, and after the attack, and see the true impact of this infamous event in world history.Expanded second edition includes over 250 rare historical photographs, maps, and images
