Free to Die for Their Country: The Story of the Japanese American Draft Resisters in World War II Paperback - 2003

by Eric L. Muller


First line

On the last day of spring in 1944, as American infantrymen began their assault on the Nazi-held port city of Cherbourg in northern France, the U.S. Army staged an induction ceremony for sixty-six new draftees in Idaho.

From the jacket flap

One of the Washington Post's Top Nonfiction Titles of 2001
In 1942, the federal government forced West Coast Japanese Americans into detainment camps on suspicion of disloyalty. Two years later, it demanded even more, drafting them into the same military that had been guarding them as subversives. Most of these Americans complied, but "Free to Die for Their Country" is the first book to tell the powerful story of those who refused.
