Three Came Home - Inspiring WWII Memoir of Survival & Resilience | Perfect for History Buffs & Book Clubs

"Three Came Home" is a superb book, for:in this book, Agnes Keith's writing describes a serious subject well, but with bits of whimsy.It's about the terrible conditions of internees of the Japanese in World War II.Her drawings in it portray the topics so well that the few of them give as much to the book as all the text. If I had to recommend one or the other, alone, to someone, I don't know which it would be.Of her autobiographical books, this one edges out her first one, "Land Below the Wind" (which should be read before this one to get you familiar with the individuals), only because of the awful plight of the people.If I'm laying the praise on thick, it's because in all my years of reading, this one book has had the greatest effect on me.James A.
