A fascinating look at a family divided by war and what was going on in both America and Japan at the time. You see the war from brother Harry's viewpoint from the west coast of the US, an internment camp, and later the Pacific as he worked as a linguist for the US Army, and from the viewpoint of his American born brothers living in Japan at the start of the war and eventually caught in that war machine. This book puts a human face on both sides and gives a new perspective to the war in the Pacific.
