Review, "'Midnight,' a compelling history of a Japanese-American family," USA TODAY →

"This deeply researched and elegantly written history is a rare human drama that spans the Japanese-American experience as few, if any, books have done....From the idyllic world-apart of Washington state to the hell-on-earth that Hiroshima would become, Sakamoto captures the large and small details of the Fukuharas' experience. This is a book that meticulously frames its subjects, as wartime urgencies -- and tragedies -- remake them."
