Описание книги

This is the story of the Japanese who immigrated to Hawaii around the turn of the present century, worked as forced laborers on the sugar plantations, and afterwards remained in Hawaii to work as free men and to raise families. It is the story also of their children, born and raised in Hawaii, and who, during World War II, won fame and glory for themselves and their country on the bloody battlefields of Italy and southern Europe.But more than all of this, it is the story of the fate of the original immigrants during World War II. Rounded up by a panic-stricken American Government after the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor, these people were sent to the mainland to spend the war years being confined in one refugee camp after another, all while their sons were winning fame as American combat troops.And finally, it is the story of these elderly people who, at the end of the war, became free men once again and were allowed to return to their beloved Hawaii to live out their lives in peace.

One day Yone called him in the office and said, "Arata, it is about time you opened a store yourself. There is a limit to the amount of peddling you can do. The first part of your training is now over. Enter the next one as a storekeeper. Do you have in mind some locality where you would want to locate permanently? You must always bear in mind the competition, the type of customers, and the extent of patronage you are capable of getting."

"Thank you for your unfailing interest in me. By following your advice, I have not only earned quite a bit of money in the last two years, but I have learned a great deal of the world and the secrets of business success. For the latter knowledge I have had to go through a heart-aching failure or two before acquiring the knack of how to get along with the rank and file who are my prospective customers. About the place of business, I used to live at Makaweli and in that district I have a host of friends. Stores are not as numerous there as on this eastern end. I shall perhaps start there."
