Requests:  0 Summary:  The story of the 442nd, a segregated unit of Japanese American citizens, commanded by white officers, that finally rescued the "lost battalion." Their unmatched courage and sacrifice under fire became legend - all the more remarkable because many of the soldiers had volunteered from prison-like "internment" camps where sentries watched their mothers and fathers from the barbed-wire perimeter. In seven campaigns, these young Japanese American men earned more than 9,000 Purple Hearts, 6,000 Bronze and Silver Stars, and nearly two dozen Medals of Honor. The 442nd became the most decorated unit of its size in World War II: its soldiers earned 18,100 awards and decorations, more than one for every man. This is their story - a story of a young generation's fight against both the enemy and American prejudice - a story of heroism, sacrifice, and the best America has to offer.   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status   Aiea Public Library Adult Nonfiction 940.54214 Mc Checked In Add Copy to MyList Hana P/S Library Adult Nonfiction 940.54214 Mc Checked In Add Copy to MyList Hawaii State Library Language, Literature & History 940.54214 Mc Checked In Add Copy to MyList Hilo Public Library Adult Nonfiction 940.54214 McGau Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kahuku P/S Library Adult Nonfiction 940.54214 McGau Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kailua Public Library Adult Nonfiction 940.54214 Mc Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kalihi-Palama Public Library Adult Nonfiction 940.54214 Mc Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kapolei Public Library Adult Nonfiction 940.54214 Mc Checked In Add Copy to MyList Lihue Public Library Adult Nonfiction 940.54214 Mc Checked In Add Copy to MyList Liliha Public Library Adult Nonfiction 940.54214 Mc Checked In Add Copy to MyList More Results: 1 2 Next
