More Details

Summary:

A report on the Japanese invasion of Attu, a small island on the western end of Alaska, during World War II, and the death of Paul Tatsuguchi, a Japanese soldier who had been conscripted from his home in America with his wife. Dick Laird, the American soldier who killed Tatsuguchi, found Tatsuguchi's diary on Attu and was haunted for years by killing a man who should not have been there until finally making peace with Tatsuguchi's daughter many years later. Includes interviews with Mark Obmascik, author and journalist; Harry Sasser, a U.S. soldier who fought in the Attu conflict; and Laura Tatsuguchi, daughter of Paul Tatsuguchi.
