Tonight’s guest is author and historian David Sears. David lives in Northern New Jersey. He served in the U.S. Navy with extensive overseas experience which included serving as an adviser to the South Vietnamese Navy during the Vietnam War. David earned degrees from the University of Pennsylvania and, later, from the Cornell University School of Industrial and Labor Relations.

In 2007 he released his first book “The Last Epic Naval Battle: Voices from Leyte Gulf”

In the years that followed David Sears has since published “At War with the Wind” a history of how the U.S. Navy dealt with Japanese Kamikaze attackers during the final months of World War II.

Followed by “Such Men as These” the story of Naval Pilots who fought during the Korean War.

Then came “Pacific Air” which discusses the great Naval pilots and their aircraft that won the Naval Air War in the Pacific during World War Two.

And then in September last year David released his latest masterpiece “Duel in the Deep” which chronicles a fantastic 1943 battle between a U.S. Navy destroyer and a German U-Boat.
