Comments from Back Cover About the Author ORDER -- Item #3511, Price $15.95 Book Description from Back CoverThe Greatest Story of American Heroism from World War IIJapanese-Americans were forcefully removed from their homes and businesses, and placed in "relocation" camps throughout the West. With countless instances of "Gestapo-like" tactics used against them, no one would have faulted them for being bitter or angry at the country that held them captive. Instead, the remarkable story of these Nisei (first generation Japanese born outside of Japan) warriors explains why they were eager to defend their American homeland, and how they became the most decorated fighting unit ever assembled in U.S. military history. Go For Broke is the incredible story of how these soldiers, known as the "Purple Heart Battalion," helped liberate Europe, the Pacific, and America from its pervasive and systemic bigotry.
