Sobre este artículo
Tokyo: Kokusai Heiwa Sangyokai, 1954. First Edition. Hardcover. Biographical sketches of John Aiso, Hiroshi Miyamura, Ben Kuroki, and Mike Masaoka; interviews with Fujioka Shiro and Mike Masaoka; and profiles of 300-odd Issei and Nisei. Includes brief essays on the exclusion movement, internment, and the second generation."-A Buried Past, 633.1.
The subjects of the book are the highest ranking Japanese American officer during World War Two and the first Nisei judge in the contiguous 48 states (Aiso); a Congressional Medal of Honor winner during the Korean War (Miyamura); the only Nisei combat fighter pilot in the Pacific Theater during World War Two (Kuroki); and the first volunteer for the all-Japanese 442nd Regimental Combat Team and a representive of the Japanese American Citizens League in negotiations over internment with the federal government (Masaoka).
A letter from Vice President Richard Nixon reproduced in facsimile at the front along with an introduction in English by the author encouraging a reevaluation of anti-American sentiment among the Japanese and Japanese-Americans. The cover image, of two babies appearing to fight, suggests the author's view of the conflict between Japan and the United States, likening it to toddlers throwing tantrums.
Tomimoto was a journalist in the US during the first quarter of the 20th century;. He returned to Japan about 1930, and after the Second World War, he wrote several books on the Japanese American experience.
[4 leaves of plates], xxvii, 297, [21 ads] pages.
OCLC: 23298944 (Stanford, Berkeley, UCLA, USC, Utah); 673933595 (Japan). First edition (first printing). A very good copy in illustrated boards; the book was also issued in wrappers. Probably lacking a publisher's box.
