John Kiyonaga: "Uninvited Valor – The Forsaken Soldiers of WWII: Based on the Epic True Story of the 442nd Regimental Combat Team"
Author John Kiyonaga draws on his own father’s experience serving with the 442nd Regimental Combat Team, a unit consisting entirely of Japanese-American enlisted soldiers and considered the military’s most decorated unit for its size and length of service. The unit fought in Italy and France, earning almost 9,500 Purple Hearts, 21 Medals of Honor, and eight Presidential Unit Citations. The unit is most famous for its rescue of the 221 men of 1st Battalion, 141st Infantry, 36th Infantry Division (known as the Lost Battalion) when it was surrounded by German forces in October 1944.

Influenced by his Japanese-American father's service in the 442nd RCT, John expertly weaves fiction with history. "Uninvited Valor" is the story of men called into brotherhood and greatness by circumstances beyond their control, and their decision to risk everything for the country that has forsaken them.
