SILENT VOICES OF WORLD WAR II:
When Sons of the Land of Enchantment
Met Sons of the Land of the Rising Sun
(Sunstone Press, Santa Fe, NM, 2005)
Imagine World War II without the atomic bomb developed at Los Alamos. What if no rapid Navajo code was used which the Japanese could not break? Or, if the New Mexico National Guardsmen had no role in the Philippines? Why were Japanese American civilians interned in Santa Fe?
My passion is studying and teaching the history of World War II in the Pacific and the stories of the people who sacrificed during that period of world history. With close ties to both Japan and the United States, I like to think of myself as a human link between two countries once at war but that since have developed an enduring trust and friendship. I strive to enhance the understanding of cultural differences in order to strengthen the bonds between peoples, to help avoid future conflicts.
