 Eddie Fung
and Judy Yung
The Adventures of Eddie Fung: Chinatown Kid, Texas Cowboy, Prisoner of War
Eddie Fung was the only Chinese American taken prisoner by the Japanese
in WWII. He was brought to Burma where he worked on the Burma-Siam
Railroad, made famous by the film The Bridge Over the River Kwai.
Here, his story is told to his wife, Judy Yung, who balances accounts of his
childhood in San Francisco's Chinatown, his youth as a cowboy in Texas,
and his war years overseas. A warm and interesting memoir.

 Jack Hamann
On American Soil
On Friday,
October 26, the Army Review Board issued a statement that they are
overturning the convictions of the men featured in On American Soil.
Each will be paid back wages and benefits to 1946, plus receiving the
honorable discharge they'd been refused. This spurred a wave of media,
including a front page article in the New York Times, Seattle Times, and a column in the Seattle Post-Intelligencer. Jack will also appear on KCTS's Veteran's Day Special on November 11.
