JOHN GEOGHEGAN has written extensively about aviation history, underwater exploration, and marine engineering for the New York Times Science section, Smithsonian Air & Space, WIRED, Popular Science, Aviation History, Military Heritage, Flight Journal, and the San Francisco Chronicle Sunday Magazine.
"John Geoghegan's 'Operation Storm' is a fascinating, meticulously
researched and deft account of this bizarre chapter." - "The Wall
Street Journal"
"An exciting narrative of a naval showdown revealing hubris and
humility on both sides...Geoghegan has scoured the archives to
present a little-touted facet of Japanese naval history that offers
a fascinating glimpse into the workings of the Japanese mindset at
the endgame of the war." -- "Kirkus"
""Operation Storm" is an exciting page turner comparable to the
best of Tom Clancy's techno-thrillers--except this tale happens to
be true...Geoghegan has delved deeply into...(the) records to tell
a fascinating story." -- "Aviation History"
"Aviation historian Geoghegan's virtuoso research turns up
surviving witnesses and obscure documents to corroborate this
engrossing story of politics, logistics, and the technological
leaps and bounds made during wartime, and the resulting tale is a
thrilling take on a little-known aspect of the conflict in the
Pacific theater." -- "Publishers Weekly "
"A magnificent page-turner that reveals the inside story of a
remarkable top secret program, "Operation Storm "is a powerful,
towering achievement." -- David King, bestselling author of "Death
in the City of Light"
"A great historical read, scrupulously researched and brilliantly
written. Geoghegan has produced a marvelous insight into the men on
both sides who fought a brutal underwater war beneath the waters of
the Pacific in WWII." --Clive Cussler, bestselling author of the
"Dirk Pitt" and "NUMA" Series
"The Imperial Navy's submarine force in WWII is still barely
understood in the West. Geoghegan has given us one of the first
detailed glimpses into the workings of Japan's undersea fleet. His
detailed coverage of the Imperial Navy's I-400 program is uniquely
interesting." -- Jonathan Parshall, author of "Shattered Sword"
"Anyone who believes there are no more hidden secrets to World War
II will feel differently on seeing this book. I've been reading
about the war all my life, but knew nothing of the extraordinary
weapon whose story John Geoghegan tells here. And tells, I might
add, in a riveting, vivid, suspenseful way that makes it hard to
stop reading once you've begun...it's a remarkable tale." -- Adam
Hochschild, bestselling historian and author of, "To End All Wars"
and "King Leopold's Ghost"
"Just when we were beginning to think that every conceivable World
War Two topic worthy of study has already had a shelf's worth of
books devoted to it...John Geoghegan's "Operation Storm" combines
painstaking research and crisp writing to bring to life, for the
first time in English, the fascinating story of Japan's late war
I-400 experimental submarine program." -- M.G. Sheftall, author of
"Blossoms in the Wind: Human Legacies of the Kamikaze"
""Operation Storm "does for Japanese submarines what "Das Boot "did
for U-boats showing the human side of a remarkable story no less
extraordinary for being true. Geoghegan's splendid research
combined with his writing skill makes "Storm" a genuine page
turner." -- Col. (ret.) Walter J. Boyne, former head of the
Smithsonian Air & Space Museum
"Impressively documented and lucidly written, here is a lively,
well-balanced account of
the Imperial Japanese Navy's huge "I-400" class submarines and
their eleventh hour 'game-changer' mission." --Carl Boyd, co-author
of "The Japanese Submarine Force and World War II"; Professor
Emeritus, Old Dominion University; and U.S. Navy submariner
1954-58
