This book is an account of a little known raid conducted very early in the Second World War using "borrowed" (stolen?) B-25 bombers.  It is an oral account from one of the participants, Vernon Main, edited and written by Richard Bienvenu.  The story is well-told and gives a very good picture of how desperate things were in those early days in the Pacific and also of the the improvisation skills and "can-do" attitude of those who were there.  My only disappointment with the story was that it just wasn't long enough.  I really wanted to read more of their missions and exploits, but unfortunately they weren't there.
