About this item
Three lives. Two nations. One war. What happened next defies belief — except it really happened.
He carried out the most devastating surprise attack in modern history. She went out of her way to love the enemies who hounded her parents into the jungle. He barely survived torment in a Japanese prison cell—but left a changed man.
Wounded Tiger is the true story of: Mitsuo Fuchida—the elite commanding pilot who led the attack on Pearl Harbor, driven by a samurai’s devotion to a "living god" emperor and his nation, Jacob DeShazer—a Doolittle Raider who endured brutal Japanese captivity, fueling a visceral hatred that could only be broken by a forbidden book; and Peggy Covell—a young woman whose secret act of radical kindness set an impossible chain of events in motion that transformed a nation's most famous warrior.
This isn’t a textbook. It reads like a movie because it’s in the dynamic nonfiction novel format—137 short chapters told through the eyes of real people on both sides of the war and brought to life through over 300 photos, letters, maps, and images. Readers describe finishing it in a single weekend and immediately buying copies for friends.
“Bravo to an extraordinary story! A moving international epic!” — Yoko Narahashi (Associate Producer, The Last Samurai; Producer, Emperor)
“The story of Mitsuo Fuchida and his transformation is one of the most gripping stories of WWII. A must for all.” — Dr. Donald Goldstein, PhD (NYT best-selling author of At Dawn We Slept)
Wounded Tiger is a "crossover" masterpiece that bridges the gap between a profound, character-driven arc of radical change and the gripping rigors of World War II history. This massively updated 3rd edition features new content and hundreds of historic photographs and documents—some never before published.
