A WWII veteran visits Tokyo to investigate the mystery of a Japanese officer's body buried in a US Marine's grave.

Reviews
"Remembering Private Lamb", an engrossing tale about:
- A battle that shouldn't have been fought:
- A mystery, "The case of the wrong body;"
- A dangerous love affair;
- Super patriots and lunatic fringe;
- Devious governments, foreign and domestic.
Leon Cooper poses a provocative question: "Why hasn't Japan apologized for its war crimes, as Germany has done?" Read the answer in this tale of Japanese and American government duplicity that would make Machiavelli envious."
Steven C. Barber, Filmmaker (Oscar "short list")
"Leon Cooper's 'Remembering Private Lamb"is a powerful,mesmerizing novel about
an untold side of WWII and its far-reaching effects"
Thomas B. Sawyer, Head Writer of classic series MURDER, SHE WROTE,
bestselling author, NO PLACE TO RUN.
"Cooper has been there done that so we, too are there when he puts a Marine-filled Higgins boat ashore against stiff Japanese resistance. But VJ day notwithstanding, the war isn't over for Cooper. Find out why in the romantic mystery as you're swept along in the action-packed auto-bi novel.
