The pictures--and the stories--in this book will break your heart. Rick Rocamora photographs Filipino soldiers who fought bravely during World War II and have come to America to demand the recognition due them. Rocamora portrays these men with tenderness and respect. In his pictures, their dignity is undiminished. They seem unbowed by the humiliations they had suffered in America, hopeful, despite all that they had been through here, that they will get the justice they deserve. -Sheila S. Soronel, Director, Stabile Center for Investigative Journalism, Graduate School of Journalism, Columbia University
