A lecture by author James M. Scott, In honor of the 80th anniversary of the Doolittle raid on Tokyo

On April 18, 1942, eighty volunteer airmen under the command of Lt. Col. Jimmy Doolittle lifted off from the deck of the carrier Hornet for a strike on the Japanese capital of Tokyo. A virtual suicide mission, the raid helped rally a shell-shocked nation and ultimately jumpstarted Japan on the road to ruin.

A former Nieman Fellow at Harvard, James M. Scott is the author of Rampage, which was named one of the Best Books of 2018 by the editors at Amazon, Kirkus and Military Times and was chosen as a finalist for the prestigious Gilder Lehrman Prize for Military History by the New York Historical Society. His other works include Target Tokyo, a 2016 Pulitzer Prize finalist, The War Below and The Attack on the Liberty, which won the Rear Admiral Samuel Eliot Morison Award. Scott lives with his wife and two children in Mt. Pleasant, SC.
