JOHN J. GOBBELL was a U.S. Navy deck officer aboard destroyers. Rising to the rank of lieutenant, he participated in the Vietnam conflict, serving in the weapons department. In civilian life, he is an executive recruiter and is retained by corporate clients to find senior managers. He has conducted assignments for military contractors interviewing hundreds of executives responsible for major defense systems. This process piqued his interest in character development. That, coupled with a keen interest in the events of World War II, led to the development of his first four novels, all vigorously researched, as you can see on his Web site, www.JohnJGobbell.com. John and his wife, Janine, graduated from USC. They live in Laguna Niguel, California, where he is at work on his next novel.
