Kirkus Reviews "Operation Storm"

Nice review from Kirkus for Operation Storm:

"Nicely dramatized story of the monster Japanese submarines that were trained on the American mainland at the end of World War II...An exciting narrative of a naval showdown revealing hubris and humility on both sides."

The feeling of arriving home and finding a box on your doorstep filled with your first hardcover book is hard to describe even for someone professing to be a writer.

"Publisher's Weekly" Reviews "Operation Storm"

"Publishers Weekly" released this very nice review of my new, non-fiction book, "Operation Storm" this week saying: "Geoghegan’s virtuoso research turns up surviving witnesses and obscure documents to corroborate this engrossing story of politics, logistics, and the technological leaps made during war...the resulting tale is a thrilling take on a little-known aspect of the conflict in the Pacific theater." 

IT'S GOOD TO BE ALIVE!
