Carroll V. Glines’s Doolittle’s Tokyo Raiders offers a detailed and authoritative account of one of the most daring military operations of World War II—the 1942 Doolittle Raid on Japan. Through meticulous research and firsthand interviews, Glines reconstructs the mission led by Lieutenant Colonel James H. Doolittle, in which sixteen B-25 bombers launched from the USS Hornet in a surprise air raid on Tokyo and other targets. The book not only highlights the strategic and psychological significance of the raid—boosting American morale after Pearl Harbor—but also gives voice to the individual airmen whose bravery and sacrifice defined the operation.
