Description: Paul Okimoto's story of world travels is inextricably linked to the rebellion of his father, Tameichi, who refused to follow in the footstep of his uncle, a high ranking general in the Japanese Army. Tameichi's determination to study despite extreme poverty nearly led to his death from tuberculosis.

Tameichi's four children reacted to the internment in different ways. Ruth, the only daughter, reacted strongly against the incarceration in Poston, while Joe and Dan, the youngest siblings, have no memories of their internment.
