{"product_id":"the-honshu-pioneer-tom-thomas-9781489523662","title":"The Honshu Pioneer: The U.S. Occupation of Japan and the First G.I. Newspaper","description":"The 97th Infantry Division fought its way across Germany in early 1945, crossing the Rhine with 80% casualties, capturing Cologne and other cities, liberating a concentration camp, and earning many decorations along the way. Later that same year the 97th was sent to occupy Japan, less than three weeks after the surrender. This book tells the story of the first daily newspaper in Japan for American GI's, which was published by a small group of men from K Company, 303rd Battalion, 97th Infantry Division. In the news articles, features, editorials and even the cartoons of this paper, we hear \"The Greatest Generation\" of Americans speak about their sacrifices, their hopes for America, their opinions of current events, and their fears for the future of the world.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Tom Thomas\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1489523669\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781489523662\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Createspace Independent Publishing Platform\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/03\/2013\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 462\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.75lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 10.00h x 7.01w x 0.93d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eKirkus Reviews\u003c\/i\u003e 01\/01\/2014","brand":"Tom Thomas","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46136045928703,"sku":"9781489523662","price":15.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_5d87cbdc-0230-4372-9842-4ffca58e0c8d.jpg?v=1726415521","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-honshu-pioneer-tom-thomas-9781489523662","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
