Description: TRUE STORY OF JAPANESE-AMERICAN HEROISM IN WORLD WAR II THE JAPANESE ATTACK ON PEARL HARBOR in December, 1941, unleashed a wave of anger and revenge in America that engulfed Japanese-American citizens who had never known anything other than patriotism and support for the United States. Soon they were being rounded up and many were forced to sell their properties as they were taken off to live behind barbed wire. But while their families were incarcerated, many young Japanese-Americans men were fighting bravely for the Allied cause in France, Germany and Italy where they were asked to do the nearly impossible, sometimes suicidal, missions. This must-read book by Daniel James Brown tells the story of four families whose young men volunteered for such dangerous operations with 442nd Regimental Combat Team. THIS HARDCOVER FIRST PRINTING EDITION has been read but is in very good condition with clean, crisp and unmarked pages, a firm and square binding and an intact dust-jacket that we have protected with a removable Brodart plastic cover. It has numerous black-and-white photographs and maps interspersed in the text and, in addition to a general index, it has detailed source notes. This narrative of Japanese-American patriotism and courage has been widely praised. Adam Makos, author of the bestselling A Higher Call, said it was " . . . a masterwork of American history that will change the way we look at World War II".
