5.0 out of 5 stars A true hero, January 22, 2004

This review is from: A Spy in Their Midst: The World War II Struggle of a Japanese-American Hero (Hardcover)

This is one of those books that makes you wake up everyday and appreciate everything you have, espeically your freedom. Sakakida's inner strength must have been tremendous to stand up to the torture, stress, starvation and disease that he endured. And he still continued to do his duty and send intellegence back to the US forces.

The author presented the material in a good straight forward manner that included other sources to back up and bring context to Sakakida's story. Especially interesting was the subtle nuances of Japanese culture and tradition that brought out how complex their social interaction is. Also that in every nationality there are good soldiers and bad soldiers and kindness and respect can be found even in the worst of circumstances.

I highly recommend this book, a very good read.

This review is from: A Spy in Their Midst: The World War II Struggle of a Japanese-American Hero (Hardcover)

A vivid tale of horrifying torture told by a man who experienced it all. Richard Sakakida was a true hero. For those who love books on survival, war, adventure, or the American spirit.
