"At a time when the United States was preparing for war with Japan, two Nisei from Hawaiʻi were quietly recruited to go undercover to gather information that would help the United States prepare for war. This book recounts the story of one of those men, Arthur Komori, and is a hero's story that has few, if any, parallels. In part because of the political climate of the times and in part because of the secret nature of his work, the story of Arthur Komori's military career remained a closely held secret for over half a century. It is told here, often in his own words through journals, official reports, interview, and even poetry."--Page 4 of cover.
