Product Information
The definitive and previously untold account of Operation Vengeance, the American military operation to kill Japanese Naval Admiral Isoroku Yamamoto, the man who devised the attack on Pearl Harbor. "AIR RAID, PEARL HARBOR. THIS IS NOT DRILL." At 7:58 a.m. on December 7, 1941, an officer at the Ford Island Command Center frantically typed what would become one of the most famous radio dispatches in history as the Japanese navy launched a surprise aerial assault on the American navy stationed in Hawaii. In a little over two hours, the Japanese killed more than 2,400 Americans and propelled the U.S.'s entry into World War II. Dead Reckoning is the story of the mission to avenge that devastating strike. New York Times bestselling author Dick Lehr expertly crafts this "hunt for Bin Laden"-style WWII story as he recreates the minute-by-minute events at Pearl Harbor. Lehr explores the tremendous spycraft and rising military tradecraft undertaken in its wake, and goes behind the scenes at Station Typo in Hawaii where U.S. Navy code breakers' discovered exactly where and when to find Admiral Yamamoto, on April 18, 1943, and chronicles in detail the nearly impossible, nerve-wracking mission to kill him. Lehr focuses on the key figures: Yamamoto, the enigmatic, charismatic military genius whose complicated feelings about the U.S.--he studied at Harvard--add rich complexity; the American pilots of the attack squad: Thomas Lanphier Jr., Besby Holmes, Ray Hine, and Rex Barber; and their extraordinary leader, Major John Mitchell, who planned their record-setting mission literally to the second. Lehr adds tension using a Rashomon-like approach that tells the story of the operation through competing versions, and offers well-reasoned conclusions, including the identity of the pilot actually responsible for bringing Yamamoto down. Dead Reckoning features black-and-white photos throughout.

Reviews
Dead Reckoning is the riveting story of how the U.S. sought to kill Japanese naval admiral Isoroku Yamamato for his diabolical masterminding of the attack on Pearl Harbor. Major John Mitchell and his avenger flyboys emerges in these pages as true-blue military heroes of the Greatest Generation ilk. The amount of new research Lehr has undertaken about Operation Vengeance is breathtaking. Highly recommended!, "Dead Reckoning is the riveting story of how the U.S. sought to kill Japanese naval admiral Isoroku Yamamato for his diabolical masterminding of the attack on Pearl Harbor. Major John Mitchell and his avenger flyboys emerges in these pages as true-blue military heroes of the Greatest Generation ilk. The amount of new research Lehr has undertaken about Operation Vengeance is breathtaking. Highly recommended!" -- Douglas Brinkley "Lehr is a gifted raconteur....Many readers will know how the intercept turns out (for the uninitiated, the book's title...is a giveaway), but Mr. Lehr's telling of it has the excitement of a Steve McQueen car chase." -- Wall Street Journal "Dead Reckoning tells this white-knuckle tale and sheds new light on an important, albeit little-remembered turning point in the war....[Lehr] maintains palpable tension throughout. It is a surpassingly improbable feat that these young Americans flyboys accomplished, led by ace pilot and mission planner Major Johnny Mitchell." -- USA Today "Dead Reckoning is a thrilling true story of courage, honor and derring-do that builds to a tremendous climax. Among Dick Lehr's many gifts is a rare ability to depict world-shaking events on a human scale. This is a master work of narrative history." -- Mitchell Zuckoff, New York Times bestselling author of Lost in Shangri-La and Fall and Rise: The Story of 9/11 "An evenhanded history of the hunt for the mastermind of the sneak attack on Pearl Harbor....A sympathetic, exciting portrait of both American and Japanese warriors caught up in 'targeted-kill operations.'" -- Kirkus Reviews "Lehr packs the narrative with intimate looks at both men's personal lives, debates among U.S. and Japanese leaders over military strategy, and the history of "targeted kill" operations. Even the most dedicated WWII buffs will learn something new from this granular account." -- Publishers Weekly "Lehr's skills as a journalist dig deep into the lives of Yamamoto and Mitchell, shining light on the public and private life of each. Anyone interested in World War II, and especially the war in the Pacific, will find this account fascinating." -- Library Journal
