 the days and months after Pearl Harbor\, the lives of Japanese Americans a
 cross the continent and Hawai'i were changed forever. In this unforgettabl
 e chronicle of wartime America and the battlefields of Europe\, Daniel Jam
 es Brown portrays the journey of Rudy Tokiwa\, Fred Shiosaki\, and Kats Mi
 ho\, who volunteered for the 442nd Regimental combat Team and were deploye
 d to France\, Germany\, and Italy\, where they were asked to do the near i
 mpossible. Brown also tells the story of their parents\, immigrants who we
 re forced to submit to life in concentration camps on U.S. soil. Woven thr
 oughout is the chronicle of Gordon Hirabayashi\, one of a cadre of patriot
 ic resisters who stood up against their government in defense of their own
  rights. Whether fighting on battle fields or in the courtrooms\, these we
 re Americans under unprecedented strain\, doing what Americans do best--st
 riving\, resisting\, pushing back\, rising up\, standing on principle\, la
 ying down their lives\, and enduring.</p>\n<p><strong>Series Frequently as
