Set against the backdrop of World War II Japan, an American boy, Connor Williams, comes of age. Tormented by the horrors of war, and his own personal alienation, Connor places himself in harm's way and into the turmoil of a plot to overthrow the Emperor.
Whether it was out of revenge, fear, honor or personal salvation, in 1945 this American teenager sat himself, of his own free will, in the pilot's seat of a Mitsubishi Zero, to join other young Kamikaze pilots hell-bent on attacking the powerful American fleet off the coast of Japan.
A Pyrrhic Victory, Book 2 of The IJIN Trilogy, traces the historical period from the bombing of Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941 through 1942 from the Japanese perspective, telling of the Empire of Japan's fierce battle to halt the American juggernaut as it moved inexorably across the Pacific.
Using historical and fictional characters, The IJIN Trilogy explores the political, military, cultural and social events affecting the lives of Connor's adopted Japanese family and the political and military individuals they encounter.
