| And Then There Were Eight—The Men of I Company 442nd Regimental Combat Team |
Published by Item Chapter 442nd Veterans Club. Revised and reprinted edition.
The title of this volume arises from events covering a period of 24 days, October 15 to November 8, 1944, during which the 442nd Regimental Combat Team fought a horrific battle against German forces in northeast France.
From the preface by Edward M. Yamasaki, Chairman in charge of this memoir project:
“The memoirs of the men of Company I, 442nd Regimental Combat Team, constitute the core of this book. Most of them are told by the surviving men themselves; a few of them, by their family members or friends…There is no central theme in this book. There can’t be one because each story is told by an individual with a unique background, facing unique experiences...
Please note that these personal stories are memories put into writing, memories that, for over half a century, were not reinforced through retellings to family or friends. They were rekindled only whenever we got together as war buddies.”
Paper: 457 pp.
