Critic reviews

"Bravo to an extraordinary story! I can feel your passion in bringing the story to life - a moving international epic! So simply and clearly written. I could continue to write praises but think you have many already." — Yoko Narahashi (Associate Producer of The Last Samurai, Producer of Emperor, and also known for Babel, Jumper, and Memoirs of a Geisha)

"The story of Mitsuo Fuchida and his transformation is one of the most gripping stories of WWII and the Pacific War. This thrilling story of war and forgiveness is a must for all." — Dr. Donald Goldstein, PhD (New York Times best-selling author of At Dawn We Slept, Miracle at Midway, and many others)

A compelling story of forgiveness and Christ’s love

I really enjoyed the thorough stories of all the characters in the overlapping timeline- their individual perspectives and motivations that come together in the end with God’s love instead of hate as the common denominator. The recounts of the military action were well detailed without being laborious to listen to- very exciting to hear the perspectives on these historic battles.

I was able to listen to this book over a couple days of work, and had no problem keeping up; not something I originally expected from such a detailed book. A story very well told. I hope it makes it to the big screen!

Incredible!!! Best WW2 book

I could not put this book down! You feel like you’re in the battle of midway and flying with the pilots of the Doolittle Raid. Incredible transformation story and miracles of survival. Highly recommend!!!

What Man Intends for Evil, God Uses for Good

My wife read this book and used the many amazing accounts of how God transformed so many lives through the 3 individuals in this book to lead a Sunday School class. I am not a reader and so she eagerly anticipated the audio book to be able to share The Wounded Tiger account with me. I was not disappointed when we listened to the book together over several long road trips. The voice performers were spot on and the account of how these 3 lives intertwined to bring God's word to Japan after WWII truly amazing and incredibly detailed. We not only spent much time discussing the book afterward but it has re-kindled my interest in watching many WWII movies and learning more about the Pacific Theater events. I would recommend this book - written or audio - to anyone. Hoping a movie is not long in coming.

Absolutely LOVED this book!

The narration was perfect for all the characters. I really enjoyed this story. I loved how it all intertwined and came together at the end. And just to know it was a true story about Pearl Harbor made it even more special. Very well written. I heard this author on an interview on my churches podcast. Seacoast Church podcast. So I ordered the book. So glad I did! He said he wrote it as a movie first and then a novel. I saw that movie in my head as I was listening. I can’t wait to watch it one day! :) Bravo!

Redemption

Love the historical accuracy and the story of redemption of men and women on both sides of the war.
