"[A]n absolutely stirring story...rigorous and important."-The Washington Post "Colorful, richly detailed, and deeply human, The Eagles of Heart Mountain mixes a fascinating history of the Japanese in the United States with a uniquely American story about one of the darkest chapters of our modern history. Brad's storytelling weaves together politics, race, and a wide cast of characters to show how sports carried a community of mistreated prisoners through World War II, a tale that ultimately stands as a testament to the resilience of the human spirit." -Garrett M. Graff, New York Times bestselleing author of The Only Plane in the Sky: An Oral History of 9/11
