“This book begins with Filipino veterans of World War II chained to the White House fence, and ends with the American government trying to buy silence with lump sums. Thus it is the war story of seeking justice after the war, a struggle rooted in the Philippine American colonial relationship, but branching down the generations into the political and cultural legacy which those who fought bequeath, not only to those who would deepen peace through social progress, but to the larger family of history where hope for justice makes all the world kin.”
