Excited to see my book in print. Thank you @UBCPress for a tremendous design! Each officer pictured here was dismissed or cashiered in WWII. Desertion. Drunkenness. Indecency. Scandalous conduct unbecoming an officer and a gentleman. ubcpress.ca/scandalous-con…

Purely on the off chance, does anyone have a copy of Roy Ito's "We Went to War" on their bookshelf? It's not available at my library, and I'd ideally need access to a passage or two today if possible.
