Overview

From the marshes of wartime England to the battlefields of the Pacific, one man's life is shaped by fate, violence, love, and war. Yankee Tom is a sweeping historical novel that follows Thomas ""Tom"" Bultitude, a tough, resourceful marshman from Norfolk, whose life is forever altered on a stormy night in 1976. As his story unfolds, readers are drawn back to rural England on the eve of World War II-a world of dockworkers, poachers, tight-knit families, and unspoken codes of honor. When a violent encounter forces Tom to flee England, chance carries him across the Atlantic and into a new identity. From the docks of New Orleans to the boxing booths of the Deep South, and ultimately into the ranks of the United States Marine Corps, Tom's journey becomes one of survival, loyalty, and transformation. His path leads him through the chaos of Guadalcanal, Tarawa, and the brutal island campaigns of the Pacific War. Rich in period detail and grounded in authentic working-class life, Yankee Tom is a powerful story of displacement and belonging, love and loss, and the enduring scars left by war. It is a tribute to a generation shaped by hardship-and to one man who lived between two worlds. Perfect for readers of historical fiction, wartime sagas, and character-driven adventure novels.
