Overview"This account begins with recollections of early childhood in pre-war Japan, and festive activities shared with her adoptive mother. Her teenage years fell under the shadow of war. A young soldier with whom she had a budding romance did not return from the fighting. She gives a harrowing account of her survival of the Atomic Bomb attack on Nagasaki. A chance encounter with the U.S. Marines in late 1945 led to her employment by the Occupation Forces. In 1953 she married a career army soldier and became an ""Army Wife"" in tours of duty in Germany, the United States and Puerto Rico. A return visit to Nagasaki in 1995 brought back a flood of memories of her childhood visit to the Okunchi Festival (Dragon Dance)" Full Product DetailsAuthor: Akiko SeitelbachPublisher: Xlibris Us Imprint: Xlibris Us Dimensions: Width: 15.20cm , Height: 0.50cm , Length: 22.90cm Weight: 0.127kg ISBN: 9781413442212ISBN 10: 1413442218 Pages: 80 Publication Date: 14 May 2004 Audience: General/trade , General Format: Paperback Publisher's Status: Active Availability: Awaiting stock  The supplier is currently out of stock of this item.
