Description
"My purpose in writing these sketches has been to convey, in simple English, glimpses into the essential experiences of the Okinawan people during the Okinawa Battle of World War II. I have tried to give the accounts in simple English that young readers of English as a second language and general readers alike might find useful in learning not only English, but also the World War II experiences of the Okinawan people. The sketches are not meant to be stories with a beginning and an end, but are brief glimpses of the suffering and pathos of the war as portrayed through the words of some of the survivors"--From Introduction.
