“As a historian and educator, Sakamoto presents a holistic perspective on both a global and human scale, exposing the nuanced, dichotomous layers of issues, including racism, patriotism, allies and enemies—and for this family of three brothers—national identity and personal choices,” writes Lani Lee, book curator at da Shop. “This riveting piece of nonfiction almost reads like a novel and makes history come alive with its lyrical language and deep analysis of the personal impacts of countries at war.”
