The state of the homeland, learned from newspapers in the trash. Defeat and occupation, learned from newsreels. What will become of Japan, my family, and myself from now on―― On the island of Iwo Jima, where the battle ended in a desperate last stand, a single Japanese soldier was taken prisoner. What did he see as he moved from one concentration camp to another across America? Based on the detailed notes left by his deceased father, newspaper articles he secretly brought back, and valuable episodes he only told his family, the unknown "aftermath of Iwo Jima" is now revealed―― ★★★Who is the protagonist of this book, Yoshikuni Masuyama?★★★ Born in Mito City, Ibaraki Prefecture in 1906 (Meiji 39). After graduating from Hokkaido Imperial University, he worked as a civil engineer, but in 1944, he was drafted at the age of 38, mistaken for his younger brother who was 5 years his junior, and assigned to Iwo Jima, leaving behind his wife and three children. He was captured on April 8, 1945, in a near-death state from amoebic dysentery and malnutrition, and became a prisoner of war of the U.S. military. After that, he moved from Guam to Hawaii, and then to prisoner of war camps from San Francisco to the East Coast, returning to Japan in January 1946. This was four months after the news of his death had been delivered to his family.
