Here’s the set-up:

After the attack on Pearl Harbor, the United States Government encouraged all eligible young men to enlist immediately in the fight against its enemies overseas—all eligible young men, except Japanese-Americans. Nisei is the story of Hideo “Bobby” Takahashi, a Hawaiian-born Japanese-American who must overcome prejudice, internment, and the policies of his own government to prove his loyalty to his country. Narrated by Bobby Takahashi and read by his son, Robert, forty-six years after Bobby’s death, the story details the young Nisei’s determination to fight honorably for his country and return to the young love he was forced to leave—a girl he cannot have because she is White.

“Great read. Superbly written and from a side of history that is all too forgotten. JJ White brings us a story about the Hawaiian born Japanese right after Pearl Harbor. It draws you into the character, the time, the pain and the desire to be looked upon as an American in spite of your heritage.” 5 star Amazon review
