Most Honorable Son: A Forgotten Hero’s Fight Against Fascism and Hate During World War II

By Gregg Jones. Foreword by Naomi Ostwald Kawamura. Introduction by William Fujioka. Afterword by Jonathan Eig.

The first comprehensive biography of unjustly forgotten Japanese American war hero Ben Kuroki, who fought the Axis powers during World War II and battled racism, injustice, and prejudice on the home front.

Ben Kuroki was a twenty-four-year-old Japanese American farm boy whose heritage was never a problem in remote Nebraskauntil Pearl Harbor. Among the millions of Americans who flocked to military stations to enlist, Ben wanted to avenge the attack, reclaim his family honor, and prove his patriotism. But as anti-Japanese sentiment soared, Ben had to fight to be allowed to fight for America. And fight he did.

Told in full for the first time, and long overdue, Bens extraordinary story is a quintessentially American one of patriotism, principle, perseverance, and courage. Its about being in the vanguard of history, the bonding of a band of brothers united in a just cause, a timeless and unflinching account of racial bigotry, and one mans transcendent sense of belongingin war, in peace, abroad, and at home.
