Three lives. Two nations. One war. What happened next defies belief — except it really happened.

He carried out the most devastating surprise attack in modern history. He barely survived torment in a Japanese prison cell—but left a changed man. She went out of her way to love the enemies who hounded her parents into the jungle.

Wounded Tiger is the true story of:

  • Mitsuo Fuchida—the elite commanding pilot who led the attack on Pearl Harbor, driven by a samurai's devotion to a "living god" emperor and his nation,
  • Jacob DeShazer—a Doolittle Raider who endured brutal Japanese captivity, fueling a visceral hatred that could only be broken by a forbidden book; and
  • Peggy Covell—a young woman whose secret act of radical kindness set an impossible chain of events in motion that transformed a nation's most famous warrior.

This full-cast audiobook production brings the three intertwined storylines to life with dedicated voice actors for each narrative thread: a Japanese American actor for Fuchida's story, an American male voice for DeShazer's, and a female voice for the Covell storyline. Author T. Martin Bennett provides a personal introduction and outro.

Wounded Tiger is a "crossover" masterpiece that bridges the gap between a profound, character-driven arc of radical change and the gripping rigors of World War II history. Readers describe the book as "impossible to put down" and finishing it "in 24 hours." Now experience the story the way it was originally conceived—as cinema for your ears.

This audiobook includes a comprehensive Companion PDF featuring over 300 historical photos, maps, letters and images referenced throughout the story with a table of contents for easy location of chapters.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.
