“The War in the Pacific-A Retrospective”
Many books have been written about the Pacific War, but no book has told the complete story about—battles that need not have been fought; tragic mistakes made by area commanders; a 20th Century War based on 19th Century concepts; the consequences of the ongoing rivalry between the Navy and the Army

“Remembering Private Lamb”
A WW II veteran visits Tokyo to investigate the mystery of a Japanese officer‘s body buried in a US Marine’s grave. He falls in love with a Japanese woman, and quickly finds his life—and his bride’s—in danger as they’re caught up in a campaign, passionately fought and fiercely resisted, to make Japan apologize for its war crimes.

Four years’ service as a Naval officer during WWII, three of which were in the Pacific, on board an “Attack Transport” that carried landing craft (Higgins Boats).

I was a landing craft officer—Boat Group Commander for my ship—landing assault troops on the beaches of Japanese island strongholds, six altogether: Tarawa, Kwajelein, New Guinea, Guam, Philippines, Iwo Jima.

Producer/writer of a documentary film, “Return to Tarawa-the Leon Cooper Story,” being shown on Netflix, Hulu , SnagFilms and other outlets. I’m featured in the documentary sequel to my film, “Until They Are Home,” being considered by HBO and other outlets.

I’m the published author of three books about the Pacific War.I had “returned” to Tarawa many years after the battle in order to investigate reports about the remains of “Missing in Action” Americans still there. My film revealed that the remains of possibly hundreds of Americans, including the recipient (posthumous) of a Congressional Medal of Honor, still lie where they fell in unmarked graves all over the tiny island where the battle of “Bloody Tarawa” was fought in November, 1943.

My film, along with the efforts of others, prompted the Department of Defense to send a discovery team to Tarawa to investigate my claims. They were able to find some and are at work identifying these remains.

CEO and CFO of major corporations. During a ten-year period, my marketing organization sold my patented products throughout the world. Have just written, and will soon have published, “The Patent Jungle—Your Friendly User Guide to Your Patent.” www.patentjungle.net.

Degrees from Big Ten Schools.

I’m the president of a 501 (3) c non-profit corporation, MIA-You Are Forgotten (www.miasyouareforgotten.net) seeking funds in order to produce a film series about the tens of thousands of WWII MIAs, still lying where they fell in ancient battlefields all over the Pacific. My objective, as in the Tarawa film, is to cause the Department of Defense to accelerate the recovery of these honored dead.
