In his 2014 book “The Boys in the Boat,” Daniel James Brown told the story of how the University of Washington’s rowing team won an Olympic gold medal.
Brown’s latest narrative is about another bunch of working-class kids, whose lives were upended by the start of World War II.
“Facing the Mountain” details the predicament and the plight of Japanese Americans after the attack on Pearl Harbor in 1941. The book’s heroes are American soldiers and civilians, men and women who look in the mirror and see “Americans looking back at them,” only to go outside and be viewed as foreign enemies.
