Kim Clarke is a narrative writer who explores the human side of World War II, the history of the University of Michigan, and memoir.

“Now, the greatest player in Michigan history was being burned alive from the legs up in the cockpit of his World War II fighter. A dogfight with Japanese pilots had exploded the plane’s fuel line. He reached down between his knees and swatted at the fire.”
Excerpt from "Tom Harmon is Missing"
