New book by Max Kennedy

Danger's Hour:
The Story of the USS Bunker Hill and the Kamikaze Pilot Who Crippled Her .


An untold story of World War II: The May 11, 1945 attack on the USS Bunker Hill was one of the deadliest kamikaze assaults of World War II. The resilience of the ship and her crew also proved crucial to Allied victory in the Pacific. Yet it was overshadowed by the near-simultaneous surrender of the Nazis in Europe and has remained a largely untold tale—until now. With interest in World War II books at an all-time high, Danger's Hour on the USS Bunker Hill will satisfy a wide and insatiable audience.

(...) Determined to provide a balanced account, author Max Kennedy conducted extensive interviews with Japanese and American survivors of the battle. In addition, his extensive research into letters, diaries, and other archival sources make this a narrative of uncommon intimacy and insight into the human story on both sides of a battle. Danger’s Hour on the USS Bunker Hill brings to life an important, single day as never before.

(...) Documentary in the works: Max Kennedy has produced a moving documentary on the USS Bunker Hill based on his own research and survivor interviews that serves as a stunning companion piece to this historic narrative account.
