Book Relates
Daily Record
OF Evacuation

Completing four years of re-
search work Oh evacuation and
resettlement of Japanese Ameri-
cans, DR.. Dorothy S. Thomas of
the University of California So
GEOLOGY Department, has published
her book, THE Spoilage,' with
Richard Nishimoto as collaboration.
THE Spoilage" is a day-by-day
record of what happened to many
Nisei and of their reactions. In
reviewing the book John T. Fred
erick wrote: THE Spoilage" is
written with scientific objective
ness, but reading it is a search
ing emotional experience. It is SO
concrete in detail, so amply docu-
mented, that the reader cannot
but share the shock, the frustra-
ton and fear of the evacuees.
Among those whose clamor helped
to cause evacuation We're some
whose purses were fattened by
dispossession of Japanese farmers
and merchants, and some whose
bigotry and race hatred were fed.
But all of us share in some de-
gree a national guilt not readily
to be atoned. And none of us can

alter, Kuroki volunteers for the
Pacific theatre. He obtains an
assignment with a crew after
much elaboration and passing
the buck" from the officials He
flies over Kobe, Nagoya, Yoko-
hama, Osaka and Tokyo He is
compelled to remain in his bar
racks while at the air base because
there's a bunch of trigger happy
bastards on the island and they
may err him for another Jap.
Kuroki returns home as a hero
and finds himself in the "Ritzy
Edgewater Beach Hotel" his pic
lures in the North Platt Daily Bull
letin and the Omaha World Herald,
etc.
Ben realizes, however, that his
heroism in combat is not suffi-
cient, when he is informed that the
Japanese-American question is too
controversial in the United States.
The reader feels that Kuroki real
ICES the perfidy of racial discrimi-
nation which is menacing the
country for which he fought. Like
many Niseis who were placed in
relocation camps, his mind evolves
the inevitable question of ito
whom should you prove your 10y
atty? To yourself? Nobody else
seemed to care. But that wasn't
fair. A lot of people cared. But
then a lot of people didn't"
A lot of people cared :. People
like General Wainwright, hero of
Bataan who shook hands with Ben,
and spoke on the same platform
with him; General James Doolittle,
the YMCA youths, the Rotary Club
members, and other individuals.
So Ben Kuroki. hero of World
War II and air force gunner who
lived through fifty-eight missions,
has not completed his task. He
still fights. Only this fight is
more difficult because it cannot be
won with guns and tanks. One
feels that Kuroki's dauntless fight
against intolerance is further stim-
ulated by his own conviction that
the representative majority of the
American people are good"
