5.0
Double Victory needs to be a required read in schools. I am absolutely shocked and appalled over how little I knew about the true history of WWII. This historic novel highlights the lives of minorities during WWII, dedicating chapters to the experiences faced by Black, Hispanic, Native American, Japanese, Chinese, Korean, and Jewish Americans. Spoiler alert - the truth is not pretty.
I found Takaki's novel to have as much shock value and eye-opening content as Caste: The Origins of Our Discontents. This is the kind of book that helps you completely unlearn the high-level, savior-heavy, whitewashed history we were taught in our school curriculums.
I HIGHLY recommend this novel.
