Synopsis
Decades-old war abuses are given up-to-the-minute relevance in this book about World War II American soldiers seeking restitution from Japanese companies that used them as slave labourers during the war. Their tale is told by the lawyer representing them, James Parkinson. Parkinson ties the present to the past by interspersing horrific war narrative with modern-day dramas played out in courtrooms and congressional hearing rooms as lawyers, judges, senators, and congressmen debate the merits of the case., "The stories told in this book - stories from the war, stories from the courtrooms of America, and stories from the State Department and the halls of Congress--are stories that need to be heard. They are entertaining, informative, historically important, at times hopeful, at times disappointing, and always inspirational." -- From the foreword by Senators Orrin Hatch and Joseph Biden The Battling Bastards of Bataan, and all others who paid a dear price for freedom as Pacific Theater prisoners-of-war, deserve--and need--to be remembered. Not just for them, but for us. Decades-old war abuses are given up-to-the-minute relevance in this book about World War II American soldiers seeking restitution from Japanese companies that used them as slave laborers during the war. Their tale is told by the lawyer representing them, James Parkinson. With the help of a well-known journalist, Parkinson ties the present to the past by interspersing horrific war narrative with modern-day dramas played out in courtrooms and congressional hearing rooms as lawyers, judges, senators, and congressmen debate the merits of a case now known as the JPOW case. In the process, wartime brutality confronts peacetime prosperity, and economics, not military might, determines the outcome. Using the personal history of one of the veterans he represents--a munitions mechanic from the Army Air Corps named Harold Poole--to illustrate what happened, Parkinson traces a path that began with the infamous Bataan Death March of April 1942 and three and a half years of forced labor, followed by years of silence forced on the veterans by their own government and lingering medical and emotional problems. Readers will be drawn into the case as the extent of the abuse meted out by the Japanese is revealed and the POWs' effort to be compensated unfolds. While Parkinson agrees that there might be legitimate debate over whether the soldiers are entitled to back wages from the Japanese corporations who benefited from their labor, he is adamant that their story be more widely known. With the support of influential senators like Orrin Hatch and Joseph Biden and the publication of this book, he is reaching thousands of Americans., The stories told in this book - stories from the war, stories from the courtrooms of America, and stories from the State Department and the halls of Congress--are stories that need to be heard.

- 7***j (852)- Bewertung vom Käufer.Letzte 6 MonateBestätigter KaufI recently purchased an item from this eBay seller, and I couldn't be happier with the experience. From the prompt communication to the fast shipping, everything was handled with utmost professionalism. The item arrived exactly as described and was well-packaged to ensure its safety during transit. The seller was courteous and responsive, making the entire transaction smooth and hassle-free. I highly recommend this seller to anyone looking for quality products and excellent service.
- k***l (226)- Bewertung vom Käufer.Letzter MonatBestätigter KaufGREAT TRANSACTION! A lovely book at a fantastic price, in extremely good condition, as described. Shipping was fast and very reasonable, and packing was top-level: a protective film, bubble wrap, peanuts, and a box! This seller really cares about protecting your purchase in transit. My only nitpick is that the gilding on the spine is a noticeably paler gold than on the front and back covers. It's a small thing which wasn't evident in photos, but would have been nice to know. A beauty nonetheless
- a***c (710)- Bewertung vom Käufer.Letzter MonatBestätigter Kauf⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Excellent experience from start to finish! The item arrived quickly, was packaged securely, and exactly as described in the listing. Communication with the seller was clear and friendly, and they even followed up to make sure everything was satisfactory. I couldn’t be happier with my purchase and would definitely buy from this seller again. Highly recommended!
