After the attack on Pearl Harbor, the United States Government encouraged all eligible young men to enlist immediately in the fight against its enemies overseas—all eligible young men, except Japanese-Americans. Nisei is the story of Hideo “Bobby” Takahashi, a Hawaiian-born Japanese-American who must overcome prejudice, internment, and the policies of his own government to prove his loyalty to his country. Narrated by Bobby Takahashi and read by his son, Robert, forty-six years after Bobby’s death, the story details the young Nisei’s determination to fight honorably for his country and return to the young love he was forced to leave—a girl he cannot have because she is White.

Let us not forget.

ByJeanieon 17 December 2016

Format: Kindle Edition

Having only heard mentioning of the atrocities forced upon American-born Japanese or those who’d immigrated prior to WWII, I was educated to the facts by Nisei. Although, as with all races in the U.S. then and now, there are those who will always have connections—sentimental, familial, and inherited—to their homeland, it is quite difficult to distinguish the terroristic and treasonistic from those who are loyal to America. It is an inner choice, an opinion, just as all things are. Only when the negativity is acted upon—as in death, destruction of property, and imposed fear—that profiling is done, both subconsciously and on purpose.
During WWII, we were battling Germans and Italians in Europe, and had been attacked by the Japanese December 7, 1941. Not only were Japanese Americans being watched, so was anyone with an accent or ties to Europe or Japan. Yet it is what was done to the Japanese that stands out the most. Racism and prejudice spread; the seed of which was fear, just like today. It is only with knowledge, understanding, and love can this be stopped.
In Nisei, an innocent, Japanese American young man’s artwork was used to facilitate the attack on Pearl Harbor. Now we have satellite phones that can transmit instantaneously. It has become technologically challenging to protect our borders, to guard our families, to prevent another 9/11. It is my hope we do not revisit our past mistakes, but we must protect the United States. Thank you, JJ White, for bringing this part of American history to light. Let us not forget.

Constantly picking it up to go to the next chapter

It's always satisfying to provide a good review for a fellow writer ... and, in this case, I recommend Nisei for a great story ... not just because John is my friend. I learned a lot, reading it. From beginning to end it was a treat. Particularly interesting were the subtle clues as to how the story might end. I'm a slow reader ... this one, I could not put down for long ... constantly picking it up to go to the next chapter.

Love this book

A beautiful story of the Nisei (Japanese Americans) during World War II from the bombing of Pearl Harbor to the internment camps to enlistment to the European battles. Nisei proves to be an intense look at the prejudice and the policies of the U.S. government, J.J. has wrapped all of this in a love story.

Well written journey weaving fiction through historical times

Read the book when it first came out...in one sitting. Have just completed the re-read, which I found even more entertaining. As a student of history and rabid novel reader, Niesi provided satisfaction for both those interests. Clever dialog, and vivid descriptions, put the reader there, with the love-struck young man, as well as the brave warrior he became. White has done a terrific job weaving the fictional narrative through the facts of a sometimes not so proud history. I found myself wanting more as the finished story rushed up to meet me...which of course, is the main reason for the re-read!

While a work of fiction a great account of the Nisei Japanese

ByBob L Keilmannon 7 December 2016 - Published on Amazon.com

Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase

A wonderful story particularly in these times of racial unrest. A great wrong done to a group of people who turned around showed with their blood what Americans are. Not enough is shown about these individuals along with the native Americans, apache and comanche code talkers and others, the African Americans from the civil war to now, buffalo soldiers who were the actual troops shown as whites in the old cowboy &Indian movies- 10th at San Juan hill.

Great read. Superbly written and from a side of history that is all too forgotten. JJ White brings us a story about the Hawaiian born Japanese right after Pearl Harbor. It draws you into the character, the time, the pain and the desire to be looked upon as an American in spite of your heritage.
