Four-Four-Two

From the author of Soldier Boys and Search and Destroy comes a thought-provoking, action-packed page-turner based on the little-known history of the Japanese Americans who fought with the 442nd Regimental Combat Team during World War II.

Yuki Nakahara is an American.

But itâ€™s the start of World War II, and America doesnâ€™t see it that way. Like many other Japanese Americans, Yuki and his family have been forced into an internment camp in the Utah desert. But Yuki isnâ€™t willing to sit back and accept this injusticeâ€”itâ€™s his country too, and heâ€™s going to prove it by enlisting in the army to fight for the Allies.

When Yuki and his friend Shig ship out, they arenâ€™t prepared for the experiences theyâ€™ll encounter as members of the â€œFour-Four-Two,â€ a segregated regiment made up entirely of Japanese-American soldiers. Before Yuki returns homeâ€”if he returns homeâ€”heâ€™ll come face to face with persistent prejudices, grueling combat he never imagined, and friendships deeper than he knew possible.
