Michael Grayson Johnson reporting for duty with the 442nd, then in training. He discovers that he has been sent to a unit composed of Nisei he had expected to return to the U.S. 36th Infantry Division, a Texas National Guard unit with which he had served as an enlisted man. Having joined the war to fight against the Japanese, he is disturbed to find he is expected to fight alongside people whom he sees as Japanese, rather than Americans. From the outset, Grayson runs his platoon rather harshly, including an almost martinetlike insistence upon the strict observance of regulations. ........
