Beschreibung

In this first account of the intimate and compelling stories forged by an October 1979 tragedy at Camp Fuji, Japan, journalist Chas Henry uses years of exhaustive research and interviews to document the incident and uncover the causes of what many have called the U.S. Marine Corps’ worst-ever peacetime disaster.

Über den Autor

Chas Henry served as an active-duty U.S. Marine from 1976 to 1996, rising in rank from private to captain. He trained at Camp Fuji nineteen months before the Fuji fire and was decorated for his actions in combat during the 1991 Gulf War. After military service he embarked on an award-winning career in international journalism, reporting on matters of global security, intelligence, and military veterans.
