Almost 50 years later, on the eve of a joint U.S.-Japan observance of the attack on Pearl Harbor, the still bitter, still proud old man seeks to fulfill his long-unmet duty to the Emperor, while also avenging his parents' deaths in the bombing of Nagasaki and his young wife's suicide after her rape by Occupation troops. Gendo's plans can only be thwarted by the efforts of American counterterrorism expert George Sakai, himself a nisei with painful wartime memories. *** Quantity Available: 1.
