Honor Before Glory

The Epic World War II Story of the Japanese American GIs Who Rescued the Lost Battalion

By: Scott McGaugh

Narrated by: Traber Burns

The gritty and inspiring story of the Japanese American "Go for Broke" regiment that rescued - against all odds - a trapped American battalion and went on to become the most decorated unit of its size in World War II.

On October 24, 1944, more than 200 American soldiers were surrounded by German infantry deep in the Vosges Mountains of Eastern France. When their food, ammunition, and medical supplies ran out, the area's army headquarters turned to the 442nd Regimental Combat Team, a segregated unit of Japanese American soldiers, to achieve what other units had failed to do: rescue the "lost battalion".

In this riveting narrative, New York Times best-selling historian Scott McGaugh tells the story of the famous soldiers who had volunteered for combat from within America's internment camps. It is a story of a young generation's fight against both the enemy and American prejudice - a story of heroism, sacrifice, and the best America has to offer.

Great Story of Brave Men Who Went Above & Beyond

A great story that deserves to be remembered by every American who values bravery

WW2 History Must Read

For those who are avid WW2 enthusiasts this is a must read.
You won’t regret it.

Great training on mindset

Japanese values and mindset allowed tho achieve the impossible at great sacrifice. Loved US response to the racists after the War

Great story about incomprehensible bravery

The story was a little tough to follow at times and I wasn’t able to pull it maps to fully understand the situation. I’m going to research this unit and sort this out.

The person side of all the key players before, during and after the war was especially well researched and interesting.

outstanding

great look at a command of Japanese American soldiers to save a surrounded group of fellow Americans
