The Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor of 80 years ago not only brought the United States into a war, but provoked a wave of hostility to Japanese immigrants and their children across America. Daniel James Brown here explores the lives of four Japanese-American families and their sons, who became soldiers, as they faced hatred and bigotry from their adopted home nation.
Facing the Mountain: the forgotten heroes of the Second World War, Daniel James Brown, Penguin, £20 (hbk), ISBN 978-0525557401.
