This book presents an unforgettable up-close account of the effects of world war ii and the subsequent american occupation on oita prefecture, through firsthand accounts from more than forty japanese men and women who lived there. The interviewees include students, housewives, nurses, midwives, teachers, journalists, soldiers, sailors, kamikaze pilots, and munitions factory workers. Their stories range from early, spirited support for the war through the devastating losses of friends and family members to air raids and into periods of hunger and fear of the american occupiers.
