Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 President Franklin Roosevelt was enjoying a late lunch in his White House study on December 7, 1941. The situation in the Pacific had become stressful, and he decided to pass on a luncheon hosted by his wife, Eleanor, for 31 people. Instead, he chose to dine in his study with his longtime friend and aide Harry Hopkins #2 Roosevelt had long struggled to prepare the American public and lawmakers for war, many of whom argued that the vast Atlantic and Pacific Oceans served as natural barriers against foreign aggressors. He focused much of his attention on Europe, where Adolf Hitler’s Germany had invaded Poland in September 1939. #3 The president knew that Japan was a formidable foe, even though the four-year war with China had been costly. Japan had stockpiled raw materials, from iron ore and rubber to a two-year supply of oil. The Japanese Navy outgunned American forces in the Pacific Ocean. #4 The attack on Pearl Harbor was confirmed by the four-star admiral Harold Stark. It had caused severe loss of life and damage to the Pacific Fleet. The exact details would emerge only in the days and weeks ahead, but the raid had destroyed or damaged eighteen ships, including eight battlewagons, three cruisers, and several destroyers.

Finalist for the 2016 Pulitzer Prize in History "Like Lauren Hillebrand's Unbroken…Target Tokyo brings to life an indelible era." —Ben Cosgrove, The Daily Beast On April 18, 1942, sixteen U.S. Army bombers under the command of daredevil pilot Jimmy Doolittle lifted off from the deck of the USS Hornet on a one-way mission to pummel Japan’s factories, refineries, and dockyards in retaliation for their attack on Pearl Harbor. The raid buoyed America’s morale, and prompted an ill-fated Japanese attempt to seize Midway that turned the tide of the war. But it came at a horrific cost: an estimated 250,000 Chinese died in retaliation by the Japanese. Deeply researched and brilliantly written, Target Tokyo has been hailed as the definitive account of one of America’s most daring military operations.

From the New York Times–bestselling authors of Miracle at Midway: A thrilling account of one of World War II’s most legendary spies. Richard Sorge was dispatched to Tokyo in 1933 to serve the spymasters of Moscow. For eight years, he masqueraded as a Nazi journalist and burrowed deep into the German embassy, digging for the secrets of Hitler’s invasion of Russia and the Japanese plans for the East. In a nation obsessed with rooting out moles, he kept a high profile—boozing, womanizing, and operating entirely under his own name. But he policed his spy ring scrupulously, keeping such a firm grip that by the time the Japanese uncovered his infiltration, he had done irreversible damage to the cause of the Axis. The first definitive account of one of the most remarkable espionage sagas of World War II, Target Tokyo is a tightly wound portrayal of a man who risked his life for his country, hiding in plain sight.

In 1940, the US Army Signal Intelligence Service broke the Japanese diplomatic code. In 1975 Oshima Hiroshi, Japan's ambassador to Berlin during World War II, died, never knowing that the hundreds of messages he transmitted to Tokyo had been fully decoded by the Americans and whisked off to Washington, providing a major source of information for the Allies on Nazi activities.

This is the story of the famous Doolittle Raid of April 18, 1942. This book calls it the "Halsey-Doolittle Raid," named after Commander William Halsey, Jr. With the Japanese bombing of Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941, the Japanese believed that the war was essentially over. The Americans could not recover from such horrific losses, the Japanese thought. The Japan Times reported "With the imminent fall of Corregidor, the entire waters of the south-western Pacific will become an exclusive lake for the Japanese Navy, and all American and British Warships will be completely shut out. ... With the loses of their naval bases in these parts of the world, warships of the United States and Great Britain have been made into inglorious baseless vagabonds of the high seas. .... Most of them have been sent to the bottom by Japanese warships which have swept Anglo-American ships clean of these waters." Actually, this was almost true. The Americans needed to do something to restore their confidence. Therefore, Admiral Halsey planned and President Franklin Roosevelt approved of a bombing raid on Tokyo.
