" This is a masterwork of American history that will change the way we look at World War II. You don''t just read a Daniel James Brown story--you go there . Facing the Mountain is lump-in-the-throat territory, page after page." --Adam Makos, author of A Higher Call " Facing the Mountain proves that the savagery of war isn''t restricted to foreign battlefields. Many went to war - those who remained incarcerated endured the wrath of their fellow countrymen. It is said that to be an American we should strive to live life worthy of the sacrifices of those who came before us. Our bearing with each other is dependent on it." --Lt Col Michael J. Yaguchi, USAF (ret), Commander, Nisei Veterans Committee "Daniel James Brown has done it again. HIs rich, nuanced recreation of the dark years when thousands of our fellow citizens were incarcerated because of their ancestry is a must-read contribution to the history of the 20th century. It''s also uplifting. I''ll never look at the World War II story in the same light." --Timothy Egan, author of The Worst Hard Time "A must-read. You will not be able to put it down." --Scott Oki, former VP Microsoft, Founder, Densho " Facing the Mountain arrives at the perfect time, to remind us of the true meaning of patriotism. In Daniel James Brown''s gifted hands, these overlooked American heroes are getting the glory they deserve. Read this book and know their stories." --Mitchell Zuckoff, author of Lost in Shangri-La "Daniel James Brown brings to life the gripping true story of Japanese Americans whose steely heroism fought Nazism abroad and racism at home. Bound by Japanese values of filial piety, giri (social obligation) and gaman (endurance) and forged in the crucible of brutal combat, the soldiers served the very country that locked their families in American concentration camps for no crime other than looking like the enemy while camp resisters fought for justice denied." --Lori L. Matsukawa, News anchor, KING TV, Seattle "The loyal and often heroic service of Japanese American soldiers is one of history''s most inspiring responses to bigotry and oppression. Daniel James Brown brilliantly pairs these events in an epic of courage and resistance." --David Laskin, author of The Long Way Home "This book''s breadth and depth are unparalleled as it poignantly traces the Japanese American thread in the rich fabric of America. We meet compelling individuals, witness war''s horrors and celebrate moments of triumph of the human spirit. The author vividly describes communities confronting prejudice with resilience and patriotism, surviving and ultimately having the opportunity to thrive." --Terry Shima, T/4, 442nd Regimental Combat Team "Daniel James Brown has a way of wrapping himself around a big and complicated subject with such subtlety and grace that we don''t at first realize how fast the pages are turning, or how much fascinating material we''ve absorbed. In Facing the Mountain , all the skills of this master storyteller are once again on display, as he surely leads us to the emotional heart of a fraught and sprawling World War II story most of us knew nothing about." --Hampton Sides, NYT bestselling author of Ghost Soldiers and On Desperate Ground "Riveting. Facing the Mountain is a book that is as much about the present as it is about the past. In it are vital lessons about courage, truth, justice, and an abiding love of country. Drawing on impeccable historic research, the narrative movingly shines the light of history on prejudice and discrimination and the unfinished struggle for a more just future." --Ann Burroughs, President & CEO, Japanese American National Museum, "[A] bravura account the experiences of Japanese American soldiers and their families during WWII . . . Drawing from extensive firsthand accounts, Brown interweaves the stories of dozens of Japanese American soldiers with the experiences of their interned families back in the U.S., and tracks legal battles waged by Nisei who refused to sign loyalty oaths or register for the draft because they believed their civil rights had been violated. The result is an illuminating and spirited portrait of courage under fire." -- Publishers Weekly (starred review)

Synopsis
A NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER One of NPR's "Books We Love" of 2021 Longlisted for the PEN/Jacqueline Bograd Weld Award for Biography Winner of the Christopher Award "Masterly. An epic story of four Japanese-American families and their sons who volunteered for military service and displayed uncommon heroism... Propulsive and gripping, in part because of Mr. Brown's ability to make us care deeply about the fates of these individual soldiers...a page-turner." - Wall Street Journal From the #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Boys in the Boat , a gripping World War II saga of patriotism and resistance, focusing on four Japanese American men and their families, and the contributions and sacrifices that they made for the sake of the nation. In the days and months after Pearl Harbor, the lives of Japanese Americans across the continent and Hawaii were changed forever. 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., A NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER One of NPR's "Books We Love" of 2021 Longlisted for the PEN/Jacqueline Bograd Weld Award for Biography Winner of the Christopher Award "Masterly.

- 2***0 (1452)- Bewertung vom Käufer.Letzter MonatBestätigter KaufI was excited to get this product. I have been waiting for years for the Holmes Basic up at a moderately reasonable price. It’s in mint condition! Dice unopened! To the seller, I say this: we collectors do not have a problem paying for upgraded shipping. It was sent in a typical post office white box and it was bubble wrapped on the inside. Still, you probably should have doubled box this or something. It’s too rare (and mint!) for me to disagree to pay more for shipping. We got lucky.
