Facing the Mountain: A True Story of Japanese American Heroes in World War II

Author : Daniel James Brown

Genre : Historical Fiction

Facing the Mountain is Daniel James Brown’s (author of Boys in the Boat) inspiring story of the young Japanese-American soldiers of World War II.

A part of American history ignored in schools, 120,000 Japanese Americans were removed from their homes and livelihoods and incarcerated in Internment Camps, primarily in remote areas throughout the Western United States. This story follows the lives of their sons, some of the bravest Americans who ever lived—the Nisel warriors of World War II, and how they through their actions, laid bare for all the world to see, what it means to be an American patriot.
