Dan King, Author
Dan King is a noted author who will be talking about firsthand accounts from Japanese WWII soldiers, sailors and pilots who fought in the battle for Iwo Jima and survived. This unique experience emanates from his book "A Tomb Called Iwo Jima" where the Japanese Army and Navy combatants are given a voice to share their experiences in the battle that coined the phrase, "Uncommon valor was a common virtue."
Dan is a WWII Pacific war historian who reads, write and speak Japanese. After earning his degree in Japanese language he spent 15 years working for Toyota, 10 years of which were in Japan which provided him a valuable and rare look into a world often closed to outsiders.
His passion for the subject of the War in the Pacific has led him to seek out over 250 Japanese WWII veterans and personally interview 97 of them, in their own language. He has also been interviewed on several radio programs and has spoken to hundreds of people about Japanese aviation.
