The gritty and inspiring story of the Japanese American “Go for Broke” regiment that rescued—against all odds—a trapped American battalion, and went on to become the most decorated unit of its size in World War II

On October 24, 1944, German infantry deep in the Vosges Mountains of eastern France surrounded more than two hundred American soldiers. When their food, ammunition, and medical supplies ran out, the area’s Army headquarters turned to the 442nd Regimental Combat Team, a segregated unit of Japanese American soldiers, to achieve what other units had failed to do: rescue the “lost battalion.”

In this riveting narrative, New York Times bestselling historian Scott McGaugh tells the story of the famous Nisei soldiers who had volunteered for combat from within America’s internment camps. It is a story of a young generation’s fight against both the enemy and American prejudice—a story of heroism, sacrifice, and the best America has to offer.

It is a tribute to the U.S. 442nd Regimental Combat Team, formed in 1943 by Presidential permission with Japanese-American volunteers. The 442nd served in Italy, then France, distinguishing themselves in skirmishes and battles.

There is a reasonable good movie named “Go for Broke” that came out in 1951. Demonoid has a seeded torrent for it.
