My husband read this book. He said he was unable to assign a rating to it. He said that the author's uncle, who served as a prison guard of American prisoners in Occupied Japan, claimed that many American soldiers imprisoned there, the majority of them black, were shot without being tried. He said the author purports that the book is true, but, after much research, was unable to provide substantive proof of this, stating records were missing, etc. He said the book also was about PTSD, from which her uncle suffered. Since he has PTSD, my husband did not like that part of the book. He said he just couldn't rate the book.
