　　Immediately after Japan's attack on Pearl Harbor, President

Franklin D. Roosevelt sought to restore the honor of the United

States with a dramatic act of vengeance: a retaliatory bombing raid

on Tokyo. On April 18, 1942, eighty brave young men, led by the

famous daredevil Jimmy Doolittle, took off from a navy carrier in

the mid-Pacific on what everyone regarded as a suicide mission but

instead became a resounding American victory and helped turn the

tide of the war. The First Heroes is the story of that

mission. Meticulously researched and based on interviews with

twenty of the surviving Tokyo Raiders, this is a true account that

almost defies belief, a tremendous human drama of great personal

courage, and a powerful reminder that ordinary people, when faced

with extraordinary circumstances, can rise to the challenge of

history.
