American Grit is the untold true story of extraordinary Americans of Japanese ancestry who were rounded up and incarcerated in American concentration camps, and chose to take action to prove the depth of their loyalty and love for America. Part history lesson, part social commentary, and part love story, John Suzuki tells the inspiring story of Shiro "Kash" Kashino, Louise Tsuboi and others who could have chosen to be victims of the government, but instead found the courage and perseverance to defend and fight for the very country that so unjustly incarcerated them solely for their race. American Grit offers an inside perspective of the concentration camps of America and historic heroism of the 442nd RCT by giving readers a glimpse into Kash's life and the Japanese American experience during World War II. It is an unforgettable story of self-empowerment in overcoming racism, hardship, and governmental oppression to fight for what is right, and a timely reminder of how fragile our trust in others who don't look like ourselves can be, and why we must be diligent in combating all forms of hate and racism even today, over 80 years later.
