Non-Fiction History
One of the great untold stories of World War II finally
comes to light in this thrilling account of Torpedo
Squadron Eight and their heroic efforts in helping an
outmatched U.S. fleet win critical victories at Midway and
Guadalcanal. These 35 American men--many flying outmoded
aircraft--changed the course of history, going on to become
the war's most decorated naval air squadron, while
suffering the heaviest losses in U.S. naval aviation
history.
Mrazek paints moving portraits of the men in the squadron,
and exposes a shocking cover-up that cost many lives.
Filled with thrilling scenes of battle, betrayal, and
sacrifice, A DAWN LIKE THUNDERis destined to become a
classic in the literature of World War II.
