The diary of Petty Officer Second Class Koyama was a spoil of war, passed from the hands of an American veteran of World War II into the possession of his heirs, forgotten and found again. It is published here as an artifact of the Pacific theater, memory of which slips away in favor of events in Europe, and in hopes of a connection between the descendants of men made enemies.

Knew I had to have a copy of that ever since it was serialized on the blog. Ordered a paperback from Amazon.
Thanks for putting this together!
Thanks, Man.
Remember, you have a true collector's copy. It will sell less than 5 copies.
This is one of the perks at reading here!
I will be doing a biography of an American seaman from the same campaign later this year.
