This is a unique collection of stories woven together with archival resources. This book presents the human and personal accounts of Japanese American women in their youth, all citizens by birth, who with their families suffered the indignities of false betrayal. Imprisoned behind barbed wire in one of America's darkest hours, Americans-by-birth of Japanese parents -- Nisei, in Japanese -- loyally answered their country's call for new nurses.
Nisei Cadet Nurse of War II is a valuable resource and addition to studies in history and the social sciences, with particular interest to scholars of the Japanese American experience during World War II, and the history of nursing and health care. General readers will appreciate the personal stories the book tells. The Nisei Story Telling Project received the 2002 Cadet Nurse Award from the American Association for the History of Nursing.
