| Local Notes | "Masao is the biography of Masao Abe, a Japanese-American soldier during World War II. Before dying in Seattle in 2013, he served on a secret detail for the US Army to coax Japanese Imperial soldiers to surrender. The story is written by his son's partner, and it relates Masao's difficult position of being viewed as suspicious by fellow American soldiers and as a traitor to his native country by the Japanese"-- Provided by publisher. |
