Shelters for the Self: The Captured Diary of Petty Officer Second Class Koyama

The diary of Petty Officer Second Class Koyama was a spoil of war, passed from the hands of an American veteran of World War II into the possession of his heirs, forgotten and found again. It is published here as an artifact of the Pacific theater, memory of which slips away in favor of events in Europe, and in hopes of a connection between the descendants of men made enemies.
