Remembering Private Lamb

by Leon Cooper

A WWII veteran visits Tokyo to investigate the mystery of a Japanese officer’s body buried in a U.S. Marine’s grave. He falls in love with and marries a Japanese woman, and quickly finds his life—and his bride’s—in danger as they’re caught up in a campaign, passionately fought and fiercely resisted, to make Japan acknowledge and make retribution for its war crimes.

About the author

Three of my four years' Naval service during WWII was in the Pacific. I was a landing craft officer, Boat Group Commander for my ship, landing assault troops on the beaches of Japanese island strongholds. I was in six major invasions: Tarawa, Kwajelein, New Guinea, Guam, Philippines, Iwo Jima.

In civilian life I've been CEOs and CFOs of major corporations. During a ten-year period my marketing company sold my patented products throughout the world.

I'm a film producer, screen writer and published author of three books about the Pacific War:http://www.90daywonder.net;

My documentary film, "Return to Tarawa-the Leon Cooper Story" can be seen on Netflix, Hulu and Snagfilms. It has been shown on History Channel and Military Channel. I've licensed it to TV companies in Russia, New Zealand and Australia.

My screenplay, "90 Day Wonder" won Honorable Mention among 18,000 contestants in Writer's Digest 2005 Screenplay/TV contest.

I'm president of a 5013c corporation set up to receive charitable contributions which will fund a series of films publicizing the urgent need to recover the remains of the tens of thousands of WWII "Missing-in-Action" (MIAs) who still lie where they fell in ancient WWII battlefields, mostly in the Pacific.

My fim, "Return to Tarawa" had the desired effect of causing the Department of Defense to send a team to Tarawa to investigate my claim that the remains of hundreds of Americans were still there, in unmarked graves in that tiny islands. My new proposed films will undoubtedly have the same effect for the tens of thousands of Americans lying elswwhere in the Pacific. hundx=
