Just before the outbreak of war between Japan and the United States, Perry Saito was a nineteen-year-old pacifist and college student. Karl Bendetson was a thirty-four-year-old lawyer and reserve officer on active duty. Both came from Aberdeen, a small logging town in western Washington. Because of their ancestry, both were members of groups that faced discrimination. The author traces the family background and experiences of these two men, laying forth the contrasting trajectories their lives took during and after the war. |
