Love and Infamy

0/5 ( ratings)

Love and Infamy is a sweeping novel of history and destiny - and a love story of unforgettable proportions - about two men who know the secret of Pearl Harbor, only one of whom has the will to stop it.... Tokyo, Honolulu. The approach of conflict in the Pacific. Two men - one American, one Japanese - raised as blood brothers, are faced with the crisis of their lives on the eve of World War II. Cotton Drake has left the States to follow in the footsteps of his missionary parents back in Japan. Kiyoshi Serikawa, a Japanese who at times seems more American than the Americans, stays behind in Hawaii, and is recruited by his nation to help plan "Operation Z" - the secret attack on Pearl Harbor. Soon history will force each man to choose between America and Japan - and each other. For when Cotton returns to Tokyo, he realizes there is a clandestine campaign in the making, and suspects that Kiyoshi knows more about it than he admits. And as Cotton grows surer of his best friend's treachery, he falls more deeply in love with the beautiful Miyuki. The daughter of a Japanese war hero and Kiyoshi's dutiful wife, she, too, will have to choose between passion and duty, love and country. Full of wartime intrigue, Love and Infamy vividly conveys the spirit of antebellum Japan. Combining the heart-stopping romance of James Michener's Tales of the South Pacific and the epic scope of James Jones's From Here to Eternity, Love and Infamy is the kind of rich, involving novel that fans of popular fiction and popular history will find irresistible.
