Facing the Mountain: A True Story of Japanese American Heroes in World War II

The 442nd Regimental Combat Team: An Epic Story of Patriotism and Resistance in World War II is a gripping and unforgettable chronicle of four Japanese American families and their sons who volunteered for military service during one of the darkest periods in American history.

This book masterfully weaves together the stories of Rudy Tokiwa, Fred Shiosaki, Kats Miho, and Gordon Hirabayashi, who fought on battlefields across Europe and stood up against their government's unjust treatment of Japanese Americans in concentration camps.

With a focus on the bravery, sacrifice, and resilience of these individuals and their families, this book is an essential read for anyone interested in American history, World War II, or the struggles of minority groups in the United States.
