Whether fighting on battlefields or in courtrooms, these were Americans under unprecedented strain, doing what Americans do best—striving, resisting, laying down their lives, and enduring. Based on Brown's extensive interviews with the families of the protagonists, as well as on deep archival research, Facing the Mountain is a gripping World War II saga of patriotism and courage during one of the darkest moments in American history. Author Timothy Egan praises the book saying, “I’ll never look at the World War II story in the same light.”
Daniel James Brown is also the author of The Indifferent Stars Above: The Harrowing Saga of the Donner Party and Under a Flaming Sky: The Great Hinckley Firestorm of 1894.
“Riveting. . . . [A] book that is as much about the present as it is about the past. In it are vital lessons about courage, truth, justice, and an abiding love of country. Drawing on impeccable historic research, the narrative movingly shines the light of history on prejudice and discrimination and the unfinished struggle for a more just future.”
—Ann Burroughs, President & CEO, Japanese American National Museum
