Lifton and Falk's INDEFENSIBLE WEAPONS. This cites been given many times for the nuclearism kritik, but most people still think the kritik only applies to nuclear language (i.e. saying "nuke"). Lifton and Falk write some good cards saying denying the impact of nuclear war entrenches the nuclearistic illusion. Psychologically we think nuclear war isn't that bad and a real world nuclear holocaust occurs. If you want some extremely depressing, yet flaming nuclear war bad cites, I'd suggest Schell's famous book THE FATE OF THE EARTH.

Foo, A Japanese-American Prisoner Of The Rising Sun is the true and riveting account of Frank "Foo" Fujita's experiences of being a Japanese American combat soldier who was captured by the Japanese during the Pacific campaign of World War II during the defense of Java in early 1942. Based on his secret prison diary, we are provided a "window in time" regarding the daily life and experiences of a prisoner of war which vividly recounts the privations of the POWs and the living conditions in Japan. The text is illustrated with drawings, maps and photographs. What is surprising is the humor that was to be found -- even in the midst of the most severe circumstances. Foo, A Japanese-American Prisoner Of The Rising Sun is a unique contribution to the annals of World War II literature and highly recommended for academic, community, and personal library collections.

I met Foo in a restaurant in Abilene, TX, sitting in a booth next to him and two other gentlemen. His book was to be released the next day. My wife, after evedropping on their conversation, introduced her and myself. Foo sold us a copy of the book....and autographed it for us. This was several years ago. We have learned he has since died. He was very warm and personable with us. His story is facinating. (His reason for being in Abilene was that there was to be some sort of POW reunion the next day.)

Having known Foo since High School days and later being a sister-in-law, I read the original dairy and saw the pictures he drew of the atrocities experienced there in prison. This book is an excellent account of the way it was. I highly recommend this book to anyone who wants a factual story of what it was like to be in a POW Camp in Japan during World War II.

This book is a must to have in your resources for a parent or those who work with kids. My daycare children LOVE the activities that have come from this book! Believe me, it will keep them busy for a while!

Our school has an annual family math & science night where classrooms have age-appropriate activities for kids & families to do together. This book is laid out so well it was easy to present them in a class. Am buying a copy for our school!
