Assassins' Raid: Killing Admiral Yamamoto

By Roberto de Haro

Book Overview

A novel of daring and danger that follows American Army pilots as they streak over shark-infested waters in the South Pacific to rendezvous with the Japanese bomber carrying the sought-after Admiral Isoroku Yamamoto. Admiral Yamamoto was responsible for the attack on Pearl Harbor that fateful December in 1941. While the raid was kept secret for most of the war, a startling controversy developed over who really shot down Yamamoto's plane.

Assassins' Raid tells the story of the daring raid by American Army pilots in World War II to intercept and shoot down Admiral Yamamoto's plane in April of 1943. It was a remarkable effort and resulted in the death of the Japanese admiral.
