442ndRCT Soldier's Forum

A 'must have' for the 442nd members is their unit history "Americans, Story of the 442nd, by Orville Shirey. Written in 1946, it was the definitive book for the 442nd, containing their roster, casualties and awards. It has, since, been reprinted three times; once by the 100th/442nd Veterans Association. The readily available copy is a fuzzy copy of the original 1946 printing. It is available at the Japanese American National Museum or on-line.

It's also on ebay for $39.95 from Battery Press (32 copies available)

152 pages. 49 photos/drawings. 7 maps

the Battery Press site has the cool picture of three guys from the 442nd walking by a destoryed German Halftrack.

Already got my copy. Thanks to Russell a couple decades ago.

He also asked that I plug his 442nd History too:
