I had heard about this unit from other books I have read about World War 2. Now this book takes you from the internment camps to sons volunteering to fight. A unit is made of Japanese Americans and after training are sent to fight in Italy. Still fighting in Italy even after D-Day they finally get a break after months only to be sent to France. Once there and still not able to rest they are ordered to find a lost unit in the Vosges Mountains in France. What most people don’t know is that we would be fighting in that area until the Battle of the Bulge. But now they are ordered to rescue a unit that was lured into a trap and they themselves would have to fight through some of the best German forces to get to them. You are given back story on some of the soldiers and their families as well as want took place during the battle and the arguing between the higher ups that would continue for decades because of one Generals look at thinking because they were Japanese they were expendable, especially when trying to rescue white soldiers that he put in harm’s way to begin with. It would be decades later until some of these Japanese Americans who already lost all of their belongings, and so much more seeing what their families were going through but still wanting to fight only to be denied recognition for their actions until decades later. Overall a very good about WW2.
