It was a man named Jacob DeShazer, who had been a prisoner of war in Japan.\u00a0 \u00a0<\/p>\n DeShazer hated the Japanese after Pearl Harbor, and in April 1942, he risked his life for revenge as a member of the famed “Doolittle Raiders,” carrying out a daring daylight bombing raid on Tokyo and other cities. \u00a0<\/p>\n When DeShazer’s plane ran out of fuel over Japanese-held territory, he was captured by Japan. For 40 months his captors starved, beat, and tortured him. While DeShazer was in prison he begged his captors for a Bible, and that’s when he came to Christ.<\/p>\n “I discovered that God had given me new spiritual eyes and that when I looked at the enemy officers and guards who had starved and beaten my companions and me so cruelly, I found my bitter hatred for them changed to loving pity. I realized that these people did not know anything about my Savior,” DeShazer recalled.<\/p>\n ***Please sign up for\u00a0CBN Newsletters\u00a0and download the\u00a0CBN News app\u00a0to ensure you keep receiving the latest news from a distinctly Christian perspective.***<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n After the war, DeShazer returned to Japan as a missionary, and that’s when his life intersected with Mitsuo Fuchida.<\/p>\n And DeShazer wasn’t the only Western Christian whose testimony helped to draw Fuchida to salvation through Jesus Christ.<\/p>\n The amazing story of Fuchida’s conversion, and the two Americans who reached him with the Gospel, is the subject of a book titled\u00a0Wounded Tiger<\/em>\u00a0by T.
