    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., 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., [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., If followed, there is no doubt that this book will set the reader on the right direction to producing good quality and regular crops of fruit. . . . For a horticultural student who sees fruit-growing as part of their future, then this book is excellent. For the aspiring fruiticulteur, it is a must., 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., [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., Gripping, compulsively readable...will have great appeal to anyone with even a passing interest in the Second World War., [E]ssential.... [E]xtraordinarily helpful.... [A] beautiful book, not only in its abundant color photographs and diagrams, but also in its approach to the care of fruit trees.... [A] lovely and useful book., Filled with thrilling heroism and sacrifice, Target Tokyo is the definitive account of the amazing Doolittle raid., More than 300 full-color photos and drawings elegantly illustrate the technical details, making this a valuable resource for landscape designers, arborists, horticulturists, and serious gardeners., Vividly narrates the saga...Scott uses original, almost untapped sources and carefully balances praise for the 80 airmen's valor and a sober appraisal of the terrible costs., The Doolittle raid and its effects need to be remembered; Target Tokyo will make them hard to forget., Tree-growers on any scale will benefit from the detailed information, attractively presented, with plenty of photos., Scott is an agile writer who offers strong portraits of key figures such as Doolittle. And his immense amount of research enabled him to produce a book that appeals not just to military buffs, but to a much broader audience.

    Synopsis
    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., 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

        Exceptionally excellent packaging- book well wrapped in foam and shipped in a protective box. How nice compared to the thin plastic bags that too many substandard sellers use! Book was exactly as described and shipped promptly. Added to my favorite sellers list.
