The 442nd Regimental Combat Team, made up entirely of Japanese Americans, was the most decorated unit of World War II. Even with their families confined behind barb wire in government internment camps, these soldiers fought bravely to rescue a Texan battalion lost deep behind enemy lines. This story, based on the actual events, follows members of the 442nd as they face internment, prejudice, and horrific casualties in their battle to rescue The Lost Battalion.

This graphic novel tells part of their story. Illustrator Sato turned, in part, to his family history while working on the drawings.
