A powerful chronicle of moral courage, human resilience, and the haunting choices made during history's darkest days.

As World War II reaches its final, desperate throes, Captain Edward Hume and his battle-hardened squad of bomb disposal experts—The Kaboom Boys—move methodically through the shattered remnants of Europe. While working to maintain steady hands and unwavering focus, they neutralize the silent killers left in war's wake, each defused bomb a small victory against chaos. As the Allies liberate France, Hume finds an unexpected connection in a field hospital—a sharp-witted, dedicated Army nurse named Virginia who sees the man beneath the uniform. Their paths cross again in newly freed Paris, where war momentarily fades into something resembling a future.

But war does not wait for love.

Duty calls The Kaboom Boys back to the front, and deeper into Nazi Germany, where the devastation left in the war’s wake leaves even more deadly challenges. Their journey brings them to Dachau as they are tasked with aiding in the camp’s liberation. The team finds that the terror and reality of the place are beyond anything they have seen or known before. And there, among the survivors and remnants of suffering, The Kaboom Boys meet a man whose inner strength defies the very war meant to break him: The Blacksmith of Dachau.

This second book in the A CALL TO WAR SERIES is a powerful and deeply human story of courage, survival, and the choices that define us. The Blacksmith of Dachau is a testament to the power of the human spirit—even in history’s most tragic setting.

In the aftermath of Pearl Harbor, four young submariners are thrown into the chaos of war…Book #2 in THE TIDES OF WAR SERIES 

December 7, 1941. Pearl Harbor lies in ruins, the U.S. Pacific Fleet is crippled, and Japan sweeps unopposed across the Pacific. America, no longer able to stand aside, rests its hope on rust-covered submarines manned by young, untested officers and crew. Four friends, newly commissioned from the U.S. Naval Academy, are thrust into the heart of the conflict. 

Alistair, a rich, entitled playboy, becomes a reluctant leader after his boat is sunk. Stranded on a remote tropical island, he and his crew wage a desperate guerrilla war against overwhelming odds. Stan, sidelined by a devastating injury, is pulled into the depths of naval intelligence. With cunning and perseverance, he struggles to unravel the Japanese naval code JP-25 and feed the vital knowledge to the sailors while staying one step ahead of the onrushing Japanese Army. Meanwhile, Fred and Brad fight the war onboard America’s latest submarines, pioneering deadly tactics beneath the waves to halt the enemy advance and rewrite the rules of warfare.

Amidst the brutal reality of naval combat, these young sailors must overcome impossible odds. Armed only with bravery, resilience, and brotherhood, they confront a ruthless enemy, determined to prove victory isn’t dictated by firepower alone.

The heroic true story of Major Richard Bong, America's top fighter pilot ace of World War II

Arriving as a fresh US Army Air Forces pilot in New Guinea in late 1942, Richard Bong wasted no time taking on the Japanese, shooting down two planes in an early skirmish-an action that earned him a Silver Star. Over the next two years, Bong would amass the US armed forces' most impressive record of aerial victories not only of WWII but in history, surpassing even the great Eddie Rickenbacker's World War I tally. In December 1944, he was personally awarded the Medal of Honor by General Douglas MacArthur. Don Keith's latest non-fiction work recounts the previously untold and compelling personal story of this true but little-known American hero.
