I am 90 pages into the above book. So far, it is an interesting portrait of life in America for those of Japanese ancestry on the west coast. I have a few more pages to go to get into the internment. Mr. Omura encouraged resistance to drafting of imprisoned Nisei into the military, unless their lost citizenship rights were restored. He was arrested, tried, but not convicted, for his convictions. Just as a note, I found this book in Portland, OR at Powell's Bookstore. If you love books then you should definitely stop at this store if you have the chance. I ended up spending over $200 and didn't even get through a quarter of the store. If I lived in Portland I would probably go broke.
