Abstract | The devastating Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor, Hawaii, in 1941, drew the United States into World War II. Few know that several months later, Japanese pilot Nobuo Fujita dropped bombs on the mainland, outside a small town in Oregon. But the bombings were only the beginning of Fujjita's story. Twenty years later, he returned to Oregon, this time to apologize. This true tale is a dramatic and moving account of reconciliation after war. -- From dust jacket. |
