Phantom Warrior: The Heroic True Story of Private John McKinney’s One-Man Stand Against theJapanese in World War II(ISBN=)

　　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.
