Facing the Mountain: A True Story of Japanese American Heroes in World War II Free Audiobook Download by Daniel James Brown

When most Americans hear the term 'Japanese American', they think of internment camps. But for many Japanese Americans, the war was a time of fear and patriotism as well. The people were faced with choices: go quietly into the camps or face detention and possibly death if you fought back. Daniel James Brown's riveting new book tells the story of these brave people who chose to stand up and fight for their country regardless of the consequences.

In Facing the Mountain, Brown tells the story of four men from Bainbridge Island, Washington who are part of the Bainbridge Island Japanese American community who volunteered to join a special Army unit that would parachute behind enemy lines in Japan.

The story of Facing the Mountain is one that has been kept in the shadows for too long. It's a story of bravery, heroism, and sacrifice on an unimaginable scale. Louis Ozawa has narrated this audiobook with such passion and feeling you will find yourself entranced by the sound of his voice. It's a story as old as time, but it needs to be heard again.

The story is based on the life of a young Japanese American named Toyo Harada and his family's connection to the infamous internment camps. It has been many years since this history has been told, and I found it to be very inspirational. I highly recommend reading the book and listening to the audiobook!

The Japanese-American internment camps Louis Ozawa was sent to during the Second World War were one of the most difficult experiences he faced throughout his life. In this book, Ozawa tells the story of several Japanese-Americans who overcame discrimination despite the challenges they faced in these camps and went on to help save hundreds of lives during World War II. Their stories are proof that even through harrowing circumstances, individuals can make a difference.

Louis Ozawa is a young Japanese American whose family is imprisoned in an internment camp, the War Relocation Authority camp on Terminal Island, California. He befriends a boy from the camp named Danny and together they must find a way to endure the crushing loneliness of being sent to this place.
