Rising Sons by Bill Yenne
For its size and length of service, the 442nd Regimental Combat Team was the most decorated in the history of the U.S. Army, but what really set the 442nd apart was that they came from U.S. internment camps, fighting while their families remained captive back home. Others came from Hawaii, where they had witnessed the attack on Pearl Harbour firsthand, before going to Europe. Many were active in the Pacific in the Military Intelligence Service and in the spec-ops commando team Merrill's Marauders. With impeccable research and vivid interviews, "Rising Sons" honours the Japanese-Americans of the Greatest Generation, men willing to lay down their lives for a country they were uncertain would ever accept them again - as President Clinton said of the 442nd: "Rarely has a nation been so well served by a people it so ill-treated."| SKU | Unavailable |
