Four Four Two by Dean Hughes

Yuki is an American.  He was born in America, and that is all that he has known.  But, during World War 2, some people did not treat him as an American citizen even though he was.  He was not seen as anything but a threat. To defend his family's honor, he decides to enlist and fight for this country that he loves but has scorned him.

Yuki and his friends are put into the Four Four Two--a segregated Japanese American unit--where they were put in the heat of battles.  Will he return home to America?  If he does, what kind of America will greet him?

This book was an amazing read as Hughes really got to the heart of the matter with what happened to Japanese Americans after the bombing of Pearl Harbor.  I highly recommend this one.  Really step into someone else's shoes and see how they lived in Four Four Two by Dean Hughes.
