Like many other Japanese Americans, Yuki and his family have been forced into an internment camp in the Utah desert. But Yuki isn't willing to sit back and accept this injustice--it's his country too, and he's going to prove it by enlisting in the army to fight for the Allies. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eWhen Yuki and his friend Shig ship out, they aren't prepared for the experiences they'll encounter as members of the \"Four-Four-Two,\" a segregated regiment made up entirely of Japanese-American soldiers.
