Description
The remarkable story of Nisei warriors who defied bigotry to defend their American homeland. During World War II, Japanese-Americans were forcibly removed from their homes and placed in relocation camps, subjected to "Gestapo-like" tactics. Yet, instead of bitterness, they became one of the most decorated fighting units in U.S. military history. This book tells the incredible story of how these soldiers, known as the Purple Heart Battalion, helped liberate Europe, the Pacific, and America from systemic bigotry. Their bravery and determination are a testament to the resilience of those who faced adversity and prejudice. Go For Broke is a powerful account of one of the most significant chapters in American history, shedding light on a little-known chapter in the country's wartime past.
