'Fascinating...a breathtaking blend of memoir, investigative research and imagination'
Iris Chang, author of The Rape of Nanking
'Skillfully weaving personal and archival history, The Last Mission gives us a haunting glimpse of just how close we came to the brink of waging a final desperate war on Japanese soil'
Hampton Sides, author of Ghost Soldiers
'The Last Mission is an exciting, highly readable, minute-to-minute account of the last air raid on Tokyo, which, according to co-author Jim Smith, a participant in the attack, foiled a Japanese army attempt to prevent the emperor from surrendering to the Allies and a Soviet plan to occupy Japan'
Dan Kurzman, author of Fatal Voyage
