First Class: Nisei Linguists in World War II, Origins of the Military Intelligence Service Language Program
First Class starts where it all began—back to the school’s very first member—to capture the story that history nearly forgot. Through oral histories, memoirs and rare photographs, David W. Swift, Jr. (whose Caucasian father was among these men) traces the story of the Military Intelligence Service (MIS) first class. They made vital contributions to America’s war effort, helped to shorten the war in the Pacific and helped to effect the transition to peace during the Occupation of Japan. This book threads together an intricate tale of patriotism in times of war—as told by those who lived it.
Published by the National Japanese American Historical Society
$26.95 Paperback
$39.95 Hardbound
