In this unforgettable chronicle of war-time America and the battlefields of Europe, Daniel James Brown portrays the journey of Rudy Tokiwa, Fred Shiosaki, and Kats Miho, who volunteered for the 442nd Regimental Combat Team and were deployed to France, Germany, and Italy, where they were asked to do the near impossible. Brown also tells the story of these soldiers' parents, immigrants who were forced to submit to life in concentration camps on U.S. soil. Woven throughout is the chronicle of Gordon Hirabayashi, one of a cadre of patriotic resisters who stood up against their government in defense of their own rights. Whether fighting on battlefields or in courtrooms, these were Americans under unprecedented strain, doing what Americans do best--striving, resisting, pushing back, rising up, standing on principle, laying down their lives, and enduring.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eDaniel James Brown\u003c\/b\u003e is the author of \u003ci\u003eThe Indifferent Stars Above\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eUnder a Flaming Sky\u003c\/i\u003e, which was a finalist for the B\u0026amp;N Discover Great New Writers Award, as well as \u003ci\u003eThe Boys in the Boat\u003c\/i\u003e, a \u003ci\u003eNew York Times\u003c\/i\u003e bestselling book that was awarded the ALA's Andrew Carnegie Medal for Excellence in Nonfiction\u003ci\u003e.\u003c\/i\u003e He has taught writing at San José State University and Stanford University.
