Allies In Time
During WWII, Japanese soldiers were embedded in numerous Pacific islands to protect the Japanese homeland from the Allied invasion. These soldiers integrated with indigenous population, while waiting to be attacked by the Allies.
Even after WWII had ended, these soldiers remained on these ignored islands under the belief that the war was ongoing. This book tells the story of an unimaginable conflict that arises when these Japanese soldiers are confronted with an American nuclear submarine.
Amazon Review
I just finished reading Richard Heller's "Allies In Time". The book is about Japanese soldiers who were imbedded in a Pacific island during WWII to protect the Japanese empire from the Allied forces. The soldiers later encounter a US nuclear submarine, not knowing that the war had ended. Mr. Heller does a masterful job in detailing the operations of a nuclear submarine. He also credibly describes the interactions of the Japanese soldiers and the indigenous people, while carefully navigating through their cultural differences. Sprinkle all this with a shocking ending, and you have a great book. Highly recommended.
