LISTENING TO ME BLATHER ON
For those who may be interested, I just did an interview about my new book, “The Cactus Air Force” with Leonard Lopate At Large on WBAI New York. Leonard lived up to his reputation as one of the best interviewers out there. He had read the book, taken notes, and had great questions. I may have even come off well with my answers.

Standing OVATION! TC, has temporarily quieted me but only for a couple of moments. The Cactus Air Force: Air War over Guadalcanal, Aug 7, 1942 – Feb 9, 1943, by Eric Hammel (deceased) and Thomas McKelvey Cleaver was the subject of TC's conversation with Leonard Lopate on At Large, WBAI New York. They covered more than the Guadalcanal Campaign. It was fascinating -- and too short. The bombshell comes at the end with TC telling us his opinion of the nuclear bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki.
TC, listening to Lopate unpack your brain as you took us through the decision making and the battles in the Pacific was a first for me. A great hour of learning and non-fiction storytelling. Thank you, Tom.
You’ve got to be so proud of your latest publishing accomplishment, TC. It was wonderful listening to your interview. Just as I thought “out loud with TC” would be. Sincere congrats and appreciation of journalism today.
Cheers. 🥂
