Al & Marge Brown Lecture on WWII with author Leon Carroll Jr.
Join us June 12 for an exciting evening with Leon Carroll, Jr., co-author of Ghosts of Honolulu, a riveting, real-life espionage story set in the days leading up to the attack on Pearl Harbor. Carroll brings his extensive background in naval intelligence and counterintelligence to discuss the high-stakes world of spy-craft during World War II.
Ghosts of Honolulu dives into the fascinating lives of two key figures: Douglas Wada, a Japanese-American agent working in U.S. naval intelligence, and Takeo Yoshikawa, a Japanese spy tasked with gathering intelligence on the American fleet in Hawaii. This event will provide an in-depth look at their hidden stories and the deadly game of intelligence leading up to the pivotal moment of December 7, 1941.
