From the New York Times best-selling author of Sons and Soldiers comes the saga of the Japanese American U.S. Army soldiers who fought in the Pacific theater, in Burma, Iwo Jima, Okinawa, with their families back home in America, under U.S. Executive Order 9066, held behind barbed wire in government internment camps.
What The Reviewers Say
In Henderson’s justifiably hefty tome, the untold story of the nisei (second-generation Japanese American) soldiers, initially scorned by the U.S. military in the wake of Japan’s attack on Pearl Harbor, is finally revealed in full for the first time.
... clearly written.
... exceptional.
Henderson brings a great deal of investigative acumen to his latest to give personal depth to the bigger picture.
