The raid buoyed America's morale, and prompted an ill-fated Japanese attempt to seize Midway that turned the tide of the war. But it came at a horrific cost: an estimated 250,000 Chinese died in retaliation by the Japanese. Deeply researched and brilliantly written, \u003cem\u003eTarget Tokyo\u003c\/em\u003e has been hailed as the definitive account of one of America's most daring military operations.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eBack Jacket\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003cstrong\u003ePraise for \u003cem\u003eTargeted: Beirut\u003c\/em\u003e by Jack Carr and James M.
