Download or read book Unlikely Liberators written by Masayo Duus and published by University of Hawaii Press. This book was released on 1987-01-01 with total page 284 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Japanese-American soldiers not only won a victory over the enemy abroad but over prejudice and injustice at home. President Harry S. Truman himself said as much. Masayo Duus has written a book that is truly remarkable, not because it so effectively affirms this lesson once more, but because she manages to tell so much more. After extensive research and interviews, she tells her tale through the voices of many: generals, privates, mothers, sons, Germans, French, issei, nisei, draftees, volunteers, kotonks, and buddhaheads.
