Author Chas Henry reveals the tragic yet forgotten story of one of the Marine Corps' worst peacetime disasters, sharing personal accounts of sacrifice and resilience.

Chas Henry served as an active-duty U.S. Marine from 1976 to 1996, rising in rank from private to captain. He trained at Camp Fuji nineteen months before the Fuji fire and was decorated for his actions in combat during the 1991 Gulf War. After military service he embarked on an award-winning career in international journalism, reporting on matters of global security, intelligence, and military veterans.
