Rising Son
A US Soldier's Secret and Heroic Role in World War II
"It is said that war is a means to political ends. Sandra Vea captures how innocent civilians and individual soldiers, like Masao Abe, were driven to have faith in the American dream, America’s democracy, and the hope that her system of justice would ultimately prevail . . . Rising Son is a fascinating and highly readable slice of history which should be told."
—Lt Col Michael J. Yaguchi, USAF (Ret) Board of Directors and Executive Secretary, National Japanese American Memorial Foundation
"[A] beautifully executed tale . . . Rising Son is many things. It is as much an adventure story and family history as it is a horror story of the most violent kind, just as true war stories are. Although the war looms large in places, it is also a dramatic stage for personal growth, humanity and history. In the end, Rising Son is a story of an ordinary man whose courage in an extraordinary time allowed him to survive while tossed by life’s and the war’s largest waves."
—International Examiner
"Rising Son is a consideration of bigotry, loyalty, heroism, sacrifice and war—all the more riveting because it is a true story."
—Barbara Lloyd McMichael, The Bookmonger
