Japanese-Americans were forcefully removed from their homes and businesses; and placed in "relocation" camps throughout the West. With countless instances of "Gestapo-like" tactics used against them; no one would have faulted them for being bitter or angry at the country that held them captive. Instead; the remarkable story of these Nesei (first generation Japanese born outside of Japan) warriors explains why they were eager to defend their American homeland; and how they became the most decorated fighting unit ever assembled in U.S. military history. Go For Broke is the incredible story of how these soldiers; known as the purple Heart Battlalion;" helped liberate Europe; the Pacific; and America from its pervasive and systemic bigotry.
