About the book

"America's Quiet Unknown Heroes tells of the experiences of eight Hawaii Born Japanese American men who were prisoners of war during WWII. German soldiers in the European Theater captured them." "The book gives a recount of what life was like for them before the war, their first overt experience with racism and discrimination upon arriving on the mainland, their capture, and their lives after the war. There are revealing stories about their 50 years of silence regarding their capture and how they ended up in counseling at the Honolulu Vet Center." "This book touches on culture, history, the military, the impact of war, racism, post-traumatic stress disorder and the counseling that is needed after the war."--BOOK JACKET.
