Asian Pacific Americans Experiencing War: Civil Rights on Deck (Volume 1, Issue 5)

May 18, 2009 staff
Asian Pacific Americans have made lasting contributions to America’s wartime efforts. These eight stories are from World War II, Korea, Vietnam, and Iraq, with special emphasis on the 442nd Regimental Combat Team, the “Go for Broke” outfit of Japanese-Americans who fought valiantly in Europe during World War II. Many of these men put their lives on the line for their country while their families were confined to internment camps back in the States.
