Life Behind Barbed Wire: The World War II Internment Memoirs of a Hawai'i Issei
No reviews
$26.00
by Yasutaro Soga
An exceptional firsthand account of the incarceration of a Hawaii Japanese during World War II. On the evening of the attack on Pearl Harbor, Soga the editor of a Japanese-language newspaper, was arrested along with several hundred other prominent Issei (Japanese immigrants) in Hawaii. After being held for six months on Sand Island, Soga was transferred to an army camp in Lordsburg, New Mexico, and later to a Justice Department camp in Santa Fe. He would spend just under four years in custody before returning to Hawaii in the months following the end of the war.
Most of what has been written about the detention of Japanese Americans focuses on the Nisei experience of mass internment on the West Coast - largely because of the language barrier immigrant writers faced. This translation, therefore, presents us with a rare Issei voice on internment, and Soga's opinions challenge many commonly held assumptions about Japanese Americans during the war regarding race relations, patriotism, and loyalty.
Printed in the USA. Softcover. 255 pages. Includes appendixes listing number of internees sent to mainland, status of Japanese at Santa Fe Camp as of August 10, 1944, as well as listing of internees by name.
Excellent good product and great customer service. I was so surprised of receiving product so quickly and the hat looked exactly as I bought when I was there on 8/16. Malia was so kind and helpful. Thank you for your assistance and everyone at Diamond Head. Have a fabulous day.
In loving Kindness,

The Pacific Historic Parks Flag is a beautifully constructed, high-quality symbol of America. I’m proud to fly it, knowing it flew over Pearl Harbor on the anniversary of December 7th. It is truly a treasure to have.
Little concerned as to the validity of the certificate. Purchased two flags and it would seam that each flew at the same time. 0500 to 1200 on 7 December 2023
Wonderfully prices, great quality item. Kids will treasure it forever, as the did their trip to aPearl Harbor. Shipping was super fast and no problems with the order. Greatly done.
Wonderful addition to my collection, forgot to pick them up when I was in Pearl, this makes up for my error. Great quality and fantastic price. Shipping is the fastest.
Great quality and a wonderful addition to our collection. Fast and reliable delivery. A must if you forgot to get it there, next time it will be in person.
