THE STORY
Wounded Tiger is the amazing true story of three people from incredibly different cultures whose paths cross in ways both remarkable and nearly unbelievable.
Handpicked by Admiral Yamamoto to lead the attack on Pearl Harbor in December 1941, MITSUO FUCHIDA'S ambition for the glory of Japan ultimately drove him and his nation into utter ruin.
Jake DeShazer, a young man serving in the US Army Air Corps., swore revenge against the Japanese and volunteered for the first American counterattack on Japan – but things went impossibly wrong.
Born and raised in Japan, as that nation prepared for war, PEGGY COVELL and her family were forced to flee to the Philippines, never realizing the disaster awaiting them. But what happened through her life would leave Fuchida forever changed.
