I read John Hersey’s Hiroshima and it was different because he wrote it right after the war. This book is more detailed and it explains the experiences of the Hibakusha. I learned a lot.

Story
Gaia is dying. That, at least, is what Dr. Lionel Scott believes. A renowned expert in tropical and infectious diseases, Scott has witnessed the devastating impact of illness and turmoil at critical scale. Society as it exists is untenable, and the direct link to Earth’s death spiral; population levels are out of control and people have allowed disarray and disorder to run rampant. While most are concerned about deadly disease, Scott knows that it is truly humanity itself that will destroy Gaia.

This is a great story of the beginning documentation of Munchausen in the U.S. Who would think a mother would do this to their own child? So sad.

As a young man, Randall Woodfield had it all; he was a star athlete with good looks and an award-winning student. Working in the swinging West Coast bar scene, he had more than his share of women. But he wanted more than just sex. An appetite for unspeakable violent acts led him to cruise the I-5 highway through California to Washington, leaving a trail of victims along the way.

I reread this book and I realized how much forgot in over 30 years. I had to reread it because I read another book about the I-5 Killer in California. Two different killers. Two different background and personalities. Both scary men.

Story
After Japan's surprise attack on Pearl Harbor, the U.S. military was desperate to find Americans who spoke Japanese to serve in the Pacific war. They soon turned to the Nisei—first-generation U.S. citizens whose parents were immigrants from Japan. Eager to prove their loyalty to America, several thousand Nisei—many of them volunteering from behind barbed wire—were selected by the Army for top-secret training, then were rushed to the Pacific theater. Henderson reveals the harrowing untold story of the Nisei and their major contributions in the war of the Pacific.

I have been waiting for this book. Everyone knows about the 442nd and 100th army battalions in WWII European battles. The J-A soldiers in the Pacific War were like a secret. What a book!! I love it! Thank you Bruce Campbell and Gerald Yamada for writing their stories.
Because of them, my dad joined the MIS during the Korean War.

Love King, wasn’t that thrilled with this book.
Reviewed: 08-18-21
Sorry Steven, this book was very long and to me very boring. I know it’s a psychological drama and I am not that thrilled by it. I’m sure some people will love it, and I hope the movie is good but I ended up skipping to the end after way too many hours of listening to it. Winningham is a great narrator.
