Description:
When a Tiger Dies: The Life of Walter Tanaka is the autobiography of a Japanese-American who grew up in California during the Great Depression and was drafted into the U.S. Army in 1941. Walter's twenty-year military career took him from coal-shoveling detail to intelligence work in the Pacific to a commission during the occupation of Japan - while his family was incarcerated in an internment camp in Poston, Arizona, treated like the enemy he was working so hard to defeat. His story is told in his own words, taken from hours of interviews and dozens of pages of his writing. The book offers a personal glimpse into key moments in American history and paints a picture of a remarkable individual.
