From a young age, T. Martin Bennett could be found running from his mother in department stores and into the unknown. This would mark the beginning of many highs and lows and eventually lead T. Martin to journey around the world to write his true non-fiction novel, Wounded Tiger. Along the way, T. Martin attended and dropped out of college, co-founded a company that grossed $20 million per year which received the Presidential Award of Entrepreneur of The Year from The Small Business Administration, became the Vice President of a successful non-profit, trained inmates in federal prison, and lived in poverty on a friend’s couch to research this book. T. Martin Bennett has five wonderful kids and has never lost the joy of his life or his life in God. Martin believes that there is a plan and purpose for each of us, and when you find it - you run with it.
Wounded Tiger: The Transformational True Story of the Japanese Pilot Who Led the Pearl Harbor Attack (A World War 2 Nonfiction Novel)
Wounded Tiger is the true story of the pilot who led the Pearl Harbor Attack, whose life was changed by an American prisoner and by a girl he never met. Three incredibly different people have their paths cross in ways so remarkable as to almost be unbelievable if it weren't so well documented.
This massively updated 3rd edition for 2023 contains new content, information, and over 300 historic photographs and documents, some of which have never before been published!
From Pearl Harbor to Calvary
Mitsuo Fuchida was a captain in the Imperial Japanese Navy Air Service who is perhaps best known for leading the first air wave attacks on Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941. Fuchida was responsible for the coordination of the entire aerial attack, working under the overall fleet commander Vice Admiral Chuichi Nagumo. After World War II ended, Fuchida became an evangelist and Christian preacher, and frequently traveled to the United States to minister to the Japanese expatriate community. He became a United States citizen in 1966. His autobiography was originally released in 1953, and this edition will be published to coincide with the 70th anniversary of the attack on Pearl Harbor on December 7, 2011.
