Description

Hardback. A collection of memoirs and memories--writings of mostly Japanese American veterans and their family members of the first class of the US Army's first Intelligence Language School at the Presidio of San Francisco. They secretly began training in Japanese military language on November 1, 1941, nearly one month prior to the attack on Pearl Harbor.
