Excellent book. A huge part of USA history in WWII Pacific theater. It also provides a clear picture of how the USA treated indigenous people in the country. Very closely linked to the deep racism in the country. I pray this will open peoples eyes and hearts and try to change how we treat one another. The narrator does a wonderful job.

Excellent book! I read it years ago and reread it, this time screening it for my students. I will definitely have my middle-schoolers read this next year when we study American history and WWII.

The reading of the book was a homework for my son. Since I've not read the book, and don't have time to actually sit down and read it, decided to get it here... loved it!! And my son loves it too!! Not only I'll be able to help my child with his homework, but I've learned a lot while enjoying a good 'history' class. I know it is a novel, but many details are not novel, are facts.
