Chapel Hill, NC: Algonquin, 2001. dj. SIGNED hardcover first edition - In 1945 , a G.I. mailed home a Japanese flag. Fifty years later, his daughter unfolds the past and this book is the story of her quest to find out what happened to her father, the men he fought with, and the men he fought against. By weaving together her father's poignant letters with her accounts of her own journey, Steinman presents a powerful view of how war changed one generation and shaped another, and in the process makes a powerful argument for peace: in war there are no winners.
