Phantom Warrior by Forrest Bryant Johnson

Phantom Warrior by Forrest Bryant Johnson

This is the story of John McKinney who received the Medal of Honor for his actions against a Japanese surprise attack. On May 11, 1945, McKinney returned fire on the Japanese attacking his unit, using every available weapon-even his fists-standing alone against wave after wave of dedicated Japanese soldiers. At the end, John McKinney was alive-with over forty Japanese bodies before him.

This is the story of an extraordinary man whose courage and fortitude in battle saved many American lives, and whose legacy has been sadly forgotten by all but a few. Here, the proud legacy of John McKinney lives on.

Forrest Bryant Johnson was born in Louisville, Ky. and graduated from the University of Louisville. He served nine years with the U.S. Army, rising from the rank of Private to Captain. This background proved valuable for researching his latest historical nonfiction, The Last Camel Charge. Johnson, a resident of the southwest for thirty years, is an experienced explorer and conducts scenic off-road desert tours. He reports with authority on the history of the Mojave Desert and the plants and animals surviving in its harsh environment. He lives in Las Vegas and is the author of Hour of Redemption and Phantom Warrior.
