Reviews
Scott's tight prose and meticulous research provide a gripping and at times heartbreaking account of the raid., Historian James M. Scott uncovers fresh material to provide an extraordinarily complete account of the 1941 Doolittle US air raid on Tokyo and its aftermath. The basic story is familiar but Scott tells it in so gripping a fashion that it will have great appeal for both World War II buffs and general readers., Target Tokyo is an unforgettable account of American ingenuity and courage in the dark days after Pearl Harbor. With his flair for characterization and vivid storytelling, James Scott reveals the many layers behind the historic Doolittle Raid in 1942--and its consequences. Using an array of fresh sources he allows us, at last, to see the mission both in its contemporary context and from today's perspective. Both sides of the saga are represented, American and Japanese; brave and tragic; noble and despicable. His account of Japanese barbarity--long whitewashed--is particularly affecting. This is a work destined to become a classic., Scott's narrative, which draws deeply on new archival sources, will certainly take its place as the definitive history of the Doolittle raid. That alone would be reason enough to recommend it - but Target Tokyo is also a terrific story and a cracking good read., James Scott's Target Tokyo is much more than another narrative account of Jimmy Doolittle's famous air attack on Tokyo in April of 1942. It is a gripping tale of determination, tragedy, endurance, and redemption. Even those who think they know this story, will be absorbed by this vivid account of adventure and peril., A powerful compendium of Hakomi philosophy and body techniques that wonderfully highlights how fundamentally mindful body work is and has always been well before mindfulness rose to popularity. I highly recommend this to all readers interested in what life is all about and how to make its possibilities realized., The Doolittle raid on Tokyo was one of the most impossible, daring, and consequential missions ever taken by American military men, and James Scott brings it back to the reader with you-are-there immediacy and drama. Filled with great characters, great heroism, and great suffering, Target Tokyo is at once thorough, realistic, and thrilling., In Target Tokyo, James M. Scott, an accomplished naval historian, vividly narrates the saga of Lt. Col. Jimmy Doolittle's audacious raid, undoubtedly one of the greatest exploits of World War II...the story has been covered many times before, but never so fully as here., A beautifully told account of the legendary Doolittle raid, one of the most daring strikes in US military history. Thrilling and brilliantly researched., A superb writer and historian with a keen eye for detail, James Scott has created a meticulously researched account that undoubtedly will be considered the last--and best--word on the subject., [A] brilliant tale of adventure and bravery...the telling is fresh and packs a wallop that puts it up with the best of World War II combat stories., Professional psychotherapists and students alike will find the book highly informative and helpful for learning about and practicing Hakomi psychotherapy. For those who are already interested in the intersection of eastern philosophy, psychology, self construction, meditation, and awareness, it is a highly relevant integrative framework to work with., A lucid, highly readable story fleshed out with an exceptional variety of people at every level, from mechanics with grease under their fingernails to aircrew inbound to the enemy capital, to national leaders in halls of power in Washington, Tokyo, and China. Target Tokyo is bound to remain the standard reference on the subject., Gripping, compulsively readable...will have great appeal to anyone with even a passing interest in the Second World War., This anthology is indeed destined to be a landmark volume, not only in the advancement of the healing arts of Hakomi, but also in the wider fields of somatic psychology and body-mind therapy. The articles presented here are clearly written, deeply thoughtful, and readily accessible to both student and seasoned practitioner. The book comprises a beautiful balance of theory and clinical practice, of philosophical grounding and therapeutic application. In short, this volume is invaluable and one of the top ten 'must read' books for anyone committed to mindfulness and somatic psychotherapy., This book has finally arrived! The Hakomi Method is one of the earliest efforts to integrate mindfulness into therapy, beginning in the 1960's. It is a fascinating approach that includes body awareness, investigation of core beliefs, compassionate presence of the therapist, embracing the unconscious, and collaborative investigation. A unique contribution of Hakomi to mindfulness-oriented therapy is the emphasis on exploring the structure of the personal 'self' and the causes of its suffering. This book is comprehensive in every way--historical background, theory, method, interventions, case illustrations, clinical applications--and deserves to be read by anyone seriously interested in psychotherapy and its many wonderful expressions., Filled with thrilling heroism and sacrifice, Target Tokyo is the definitive account of the amazing Doolittle raid., The Doolittle raid on Tokyo is a fabulous story of bold decision-making and combat heroism. With a perfect blend of extensive research and exemplary prose, James Scott's narrative shines., The Doolittle raid on Japan was the American 'tit' for the Japanese 'tat' at Pearl Harbor. The raid changed the complexion of the war--suddenly the Land of the Gods was vulnerable to American airpower. James Scott has uncovered American and Japanese records and photographs never published before. Go on a mission that many thought impossible and enjoy his gripping Target Tokyo., The Doolittle raid and its effects need to be remembered; Target Tokyo will make them hard to forget., What neuroscience, my clients, and self examination teach me more and more is that the mind-body dichotomy is a false one. . . . Hakomi takes into account that we carry our memories and traumas and feelings in our physical bodies. . . . Therapists who use Hakomi conduct experiments with clients to help them find patterns and systems on a deep level and to begin to change. . . . Whether you intend to learn Hakomi or not, this book is a worthwhile read to expand your knowledge of how we change., When I grew up in the house of a fighter pilot, it was a religious tenet with my father that the Doolittle Raiders were the bravest pilots in the history of flight. James Scott's epic historical work, Target Tokyo, makes that opinion seem almost unassailable. Target Tokyo is one of the most incredible accounts of American military valor I've ever read., [A] valuable source for clinicians, coaches, body workers, and students of somatic psychotherapy, as well as general readers who are seeking to understand the role of the body in psychotherapy. . . . [W]ell-written by carefully chosen authors . . . it provides both theoretical and practical (case-based) evidence of why and how the inclusion of bodily awareness is not a novel approach to talk therapy, but a necessary one. . . . I predict this book to be a well-loved, dog-eared staple for every bookshelf. Somatic psychology faculty will appreciate the range of theoretical foundations and explicit explanations of the Hakomi method. For students, case vignettes involve clearly defined elements to help navigate the (often) messy process of psychotherapy. . . . This book is the product of Hakomi's efficacy and its ability to withstand time., In Target Tokyo, James Scott has given us a superb new account of the Doolittle raid, a daring and unprecedented gambit that altered the history of the Pacific War. Scott's narrative, which draws deeply on new archival sources, will certainly take its place as the definitive history of the Doolittle raid. That alone would be reason enough to recommend it--but Target Tokyo is also a terrific story and a cracking good read.
