About this product
Product Information
Adapted for young readers from the New York Times bestseller by Daniel James Brown, Facing the Mountain is the remarkable true story of three brave Japanese American soldiers who fought for the United States during World War II while facing discrimination at home. Perfect for readers of The Boys in the Boat . After the Japanese military bombed Pearl Harbor in 1941, Japanese Americans became the subject of racism and discrimination within the United States. Many were rounded up and put in concentration camps. But even while this was happening, there were many Japanese American soldiers who fought to ensure that all Americans were safe during the biggest conflict in world history. Facing the Mountain is the story of three Japanese American soldiers: Rudy Tokiwa, Fred Shiosaki, and Kats Miho, who volunteered for the 442nd Regimental Combat Team to fight for their country in World War II. The book covers the three soldiers' deployment to Europe and the struggles of their families back home. Woven throughout is the chronicle of Gordon Hirabayashi, one of a cadre of patriotic resisters who stood up against the government in defense of their own rights. Equal parts riveting war story, resisitance history, and courtroom drama, Facing the Mountain is a fascinating and impeccably researched book that will captivate young readers. Includes black and white photos and backmatter.

Reviews
"This young reader's edition has been thoroughly adapted and trimmed to about half the length of the adult original, but Brown's contagious sense of outrage remains . . . Based largely on oral histories and interviews, this shameful episode offers a telling lesson for all readers who take their own rights for granted: 'Their stories aren't just history,' Brown writes. 'They shine a light on our own time.'"-- Booklist, starred review "A gripping history of Japanese American fortitude in the face of racism and incarceration during World War II...An unforgettable account of an appalling chapter in American history."-- Kirkus, starred review
