Tokyo, 1945. A Japanese boy too old for his years, a survivor of the
American firebombing, dares to cross the wasteland where he saw
thousands burn to death, and approach the occupying forces to get food
for his family. A young Navy lieutenant, proud of the Allied victory but
appalled by the devastation he sees across the city, cares enough to
help. As post-war pressures mount between the two cultures, he becomes
entangled in the lives of the boy, his infant sister and his beautiful
mother. The Occupation of Joe is an emotionally powerful, gripping
post-war tragedy from Top Hat Books, publisher of quality historical
fiction.
