The remarkable World War II biography of a Japanese American who served in a top-secret team tasked with subduing Japanese Imperial soldiers during the Pacific War Masao Abe was a second-generation Japanese American who was swept up in the momentum of history during World War II. Born in southern California but educated as a teenager in Japan during the 1930s, he returned to the US and was drafted into the US Army. As he completed basic training, the attack on Pearl Harbor put his military career in limbo because the US government didn't know what to do with him or how to think about him. Was he an enemy or a patriot?   Masao was eventually recruited to join the secretive Military Intelligence Service: he was trained to accompany American soldiers as they fought their way across the islands in the Pacific. His assignment was to convince Japanese Imperial soldiers to lay down their arms, and to read captured documents looking for enemy strategies. He went to war with a bodyguard because his commanders knew he wore a target on his front and his back.   This little-known slice of history reveals how the confluence of race, war, and loyalty played out when the nation called for the service of those it judged most harshly.

I'm Asian American with a huge interest in the subject of WWII, so I was very excited to find a book about the life of a Nisei soldier, and was eager to read about Mr. Masao Abe's life and contributions to the war. I'm hugely disappointed to find this to be an unreliable narration. In the Preface, the author said, "The book is a biography, faithfully representing the hundreds of hours of Masao's vivid storytelling that I recorded." Immediately, she follows up with, "Taking my creative license from the genre of the nonfiction novel, first introduced by Truman Capote with his book 'In Cold Blood,' I have reimagined portions of Masao's story. rendering those in fictionalized form, although carefully attending to the 'facts' of those stories as he told them." These self-contradictory statements disoriented my mind a bit. How are we to know which parts are real and which parts are the figment of the author's imagination? But okay, I was open to reading on.Then I got to page 7, where the author started retelling Mr. Abe's childhood in 1925, and how he attended classes with kids of various minority backgrounds, including mostly "Latinx". At that point I realized whatever Mr. Abe's stories might be, they will be filtered through the author's own political bias and leanings. "Latinx" is a word made up by Americans keen on benevolent racism while colonizing the native language of the native people they purport to support. It is newspeak not used by actual Latin Americans living in Latin American countries, or even most Latin Americans in the USA. It is a word most certainly not used in 1925. To retroactively apply it this way is absurd.Honestly, even the Prologue was quite off putting. It reads more like the author fawning over herself over how great she is to be paying such high respect to someone not like her. While the incident being recalled is the transport of Mr. Abe's ashes through a TSA checkpoint at the airport, the central focus is the author's own feelings. By the end of it, I felt like Mr. Abe was just an instrument for the author. I learned more about her than Mr. Abe. I don't want to read historical recounts of Asians through the lens of any author who feels a need to romanticize Asians and other minorities. We're people like everyone else. There are heroes among as and there are evil ones among us.It's a shame that the author couldn't maintain enough objectivity from the start. No doubt, every book is necessarily influenced by the views of the author. But authors should at least make the best effort not to let his or her personal views intrude and overtake the subject. It baffles me that she couldn't make an editorial call to maintain objectivity enough to not interject own political leanings this way, with use of newspeak which disrupts the book. She does Mr. Abe no favor as it would certainly turn off readers who don't politically align with her, as well as people like me who are tired of speech control. But then, maybe her priority is in fact showing off her own greatness, rather than Mr. Abe's. I wish I could have learned all that could be told about Mr. Abe, but I cannot trust this to be a reliable account. DNF.
