The attack on Pearl Harbor upends the life of Japanese American university student Mike Anami. He and his family are forced to report to the Poston prison camp, where he joins the U.S. Army. As a member of the 442nd Regiment he experiences combat in France and Italy during WWII. The story weaves together different narrative strands and philosophical contemplations about life, literature, history and purpose.
