T. Martin Bennett was born in Long Island, NY, where he spent his childhood before moving to California with his parents. He has a diverse educational and professional background, and cofounded the company Premiere Pet Products, and as a result went on to win Entrepreneur of the Year from the Small Business Administration. He is currently working his more than 15-year pursuit, a screenplay about the fascinating life of John Newton, who wrote the song Amazing Grace. He wrote Wounded Tiger originally as a screenplay and then novelized it, and is enjoying the book's wide success as it undergoes its second printing. Martin lives with his family in Knoxville, Tennessee.
"I have read the complete book manuscript. I like the cover which
contains the strong face of the young pilot with a full expression
of enthusiasm. He is a tiger. He was born in the year of the tiger.
You described my father's posture and behavior so well and so
precisely, I could feel his presence.
He remains a national hero in Japan. I have no idea how the world
accepts him today. Some will call him a villain, others will call
him a proud warrior who found redemption. I will always admire his
guts, his intellect, and his sincerity." -- Miyako Fuchida Overturf
"Daughter of Mitsuo Fuchida"
"Martin, holy smokes! This is a darn good story! It's woven
together seamlessly and all of the characters are truly likeable.
It's such an amazing story that people need to first understand
that it's TRUE. This is a great book and would be an even greater
movie. Gotta say, I'm impressed." -- Dan King "Author of The Last
Zero Fighter, Pacific War historian and Japanese language and
cultural consultant for films"
"The story of Mitsuo Fuchida and his transformation is one of the
most gripping stories of WWII and the Pacific War, and it's a story
that few have heard about. Martin Bennett's new book, Wounded
Tiger, brings this epic drama to life with new details on how a
Doolittle raider, Jacob DeShazer, and a missionary's daughter,
Peggy Covell, helped effect this change. This thrilling story of
war and forgiveness is a must for all." -- Donald M. Goldstein,
Ph.D. "Author of 22 books including At Dawn We Slept: The Untold
Story of Pearl Harbor, Miracle at Midway"
"Wounded Tiger is an amazing, enthralling story of how the once
obscure lives of an Oregon farmhand and a young co-ed intersected
with the Japanese pilot who led the attack on Pearl Harbor. With
cultural insight and deep pathos, T. Martin Bennett brings to life
this powerful true chronicle of hatred, surrender, and
transformation. Wounded Tiger reveals how ordinary lives lived out
faithfully to their calling can impact the destiny of a people and
a nation. I wholeheartedly recommend Martin's work and know that
you will find it equally compelling." -- Ravi Zacharias
"Best-selling author and speaker"
