						The Last Fox A Novel of the 100th/442nd RCT. By Robert H. Kono Abe Publishing Softcover
	Tadesse from Ethiopia, Suchart from Thailand, Celina from Brazil ... each of these children has hopes and fears, dreams and beliefs. Their cultures are different, yet in many ways their daily lives are very similar, as are their hopes for the future and their ways of looking at the world. Over two years, a photographer and a teacher traveled to more than 30 countries, meeting and interviewing children. Each child's story is recorded in this remarkable book, published to coincide with the 50th anniversary of the United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF), in 1996. Extraordinary photographs bring to life the children's families and homes, their clothes and food, their friends and favorite games, and other aspects of their daily lives. The children live in places as diverse as New York, Mongolia, and the Amazon Basin. There are children from both industrialized and developing nations, children from busy cities and remote rural communities, and children from tribal cultures. Their environments include mountains, deserts, rain forests, plains, and polar regions. Most live in families, but Suchart, a novice monk, lives in a monastery, and Tadesse, an Ethiopian boy, lives in an orphanage. Children everywhere will enjoy reading about the lives of these children who share their world. BARNABAS AND ANABEL KINDERSLEY traveled for almost two years to more than 30 countries to meet, photograph, and talk with the children featured in this book. Their journeys took them to many remote regions of the world, as well as to some of the largest and busiest cities.
				The Last Fox, a WWII novel, is about Sgt. Fred Murano and his three boyhood buddies who are known as the Four Foxes because of their uncanny ability to knock out the deadly German machine gun nests. lt is a story of Sgt. Murano's fight for freedom on different fronts - against the Nazis in Europe and against rasicm at home. The novel follows the exploits of the 100th/442nd Regimental Combat Team, the Nisei "Go For Broke" unit that emerged as the most decorated in U.S. military history. Their heroism is brought alive in the fictional account of Sgt. Murano's experiences as a foot soldier. According to one veteran's comments after reading the manuscript, the readers need go no further than The Last Fox to know what it was really like in the battleffelds of Italy and Europe. In June of last year, an additional 20 Medals of Honor were awarded to the men. The author, Robert H. Kono, had just turned ten in the concentration camps when the young Nisei volunteered to fight for the land of their birth. Their legacy remained alive within him all his life. Just as the men of the 100th/442nd RCT never failed to take an objective, the author fulfilled one of his goals in life by writing a novel of the heart-rending and dogged determination of "The Little Iron Men," so named by the French whose town they liberated. The rescue of the Lost Battalion of Texans in the Vosges Mountains - one of the epic battles of WWII - was to follow. And so here it is: The Last Fox, a novel of the renown segregated all-Nisei unit in all its glory and gut-wrenching drama.
