About the author

I'm proud to be a New York Times bestselling author of nonfiction military thrillers. My upcoming book, The Brotherhood of the Flying Coffin (March 2, 2023), is the untold combat aviation story of World War II volunteer glider pilots. A Civil War biography, Surgeon in Blue, was a bestseller. Honor Before Glory takes readers on a riveting rescue mission by Japanese American soldiers and is in film development. And I'm always looking for ideas for my next book...

I volunteer on the USS Midway Musem so I received a free copy. The book describes how the museum came to San Diego and the wide variety of behind the scenes support that takes place to keep it operating. I found it interesting because I knew many of the people, but towards the end I felt like it was a big "thank you" to everyone he knew onboard.
