A thoughtful, moving memoir,
By
This review is from: Journey to Washington
Long out of print, Senator Daniel Inouye's memoir is one of those hidden gems about life before, during, and after World War II, especially for Japanese-Americans. His first-hand accounts of the attack on Pearl Harbor (he was a young Red Cross aide at the time), his years in the 442nd fighting the Germans, his struggles to return to a normal life after losing his arm in battle, his ultimate success in politics, are, dare I say inspiring. This is an amazingly honest, warts and all look--especially for a politician. If you want to know what really happened to the Japanese-Americans who fought so bravely in World War II, this is one of the books to get.
4.0 out of 5 stars
Daniel is a glorious man!,

This review is from: Journey to Washington
I've looked for this book for years. I read it almost 40 years ago and passed it on. I had the honor of meeting this wonderful man (for only a moment) and have watched his career with joy and pride... and shame for our gov't at the Watergate hearings. This is a marvelous, educational and inspiring book with a wonderful look at the Japanese American... such loyal Americans. I loved every page.
