HTML:<b>Adapted for young readers from the <i>New York Times</i> bestseller by Daniel James Brown, <i>Facing the Mountain</i> is the remarkable true story of three brave Japanese American soldiers who fought for the United States during World War II while facing discrimination at home. Perfect for readers of <i>The Boys in the Boat</i>.</b><br /> After the Japanese military bombed Pearl Harbor in 1941, Japanese Americans became the subject of racism and discrimination within the United States. Many were rounded up and put in concentration camps. But even while this was happening, there were many Japanese American soldiers who fought to ensure that all Americans were safe during the biggest conflict in world history.<br /> <i>Facing the Mountain</i> is the story of three Japanese American soldiers: Rudy Tokiwa, Fred Shiosaki, and Kats Miho, who volunteered for the 442nd Regimental Combat Team to fight for their country in World War II. The book covers the three soldiers' deployment to Europe and the struggles of their families back home. Woven throughout is the chronicle of Gordon Hirabayashi, one of a cadre of patriotic resisters who stood up against the government in defense of their own rights.<br /> Equal parts riveting war story, resisitance history, and courtroom drama, <i>Facing the Mountain</i> is a fascinating and impeccably researched book that will captivate young readers.
