At a time when Japanese Americans were being herded off to remote “camps” during WW2, this account explores the fighting heroes: Japanese American men and their sons who volunteered to fight for America in France, Germany, and Italy. Well written.

I‘ve been writing, “I heard NOTHING about this in school” waaaay to often.

This was an incredible story. It reads like a novel which is quite the feat considering the detail. The author writes in a way that grabs your heart.

I gave it 4⭐️s instead of 5 because, like His Boys in the Boat, there were several areas where I wanted it to move on—enough detail already.

Don‘t miss this one! #forgottenhistory #historymatters

mabell I LOVED Boys in the Boat! (And that is not my type of book at all). Such an amazing story, and Joe - inspirational 💕 3y

Maria514626 @mabell I was so surprised I liked Boys in the Boat. 😄 Kind of like Seabiscuit. A book about a rowing team—or a racehorse? Mmmm. Pass. SO WRONG! 3y
