- Description
- Following the 1945 attack on Pearl Harbor and America's declaration of war on Japan, the U.S. War Department allowed up to five hundred second-generation, or 'Nisei', Japanese American women to join the Women's Army Corps and, in smaller numbers, the Army Medical Corps. Through in-depth interviews with surviving Nisei women, Moore provides firsthand accounts of their service.
