Description
“Here is a part of World War II that most of us not only forgot—we never knew it happened in
the first place. Mark Obmascik has deftly rescued an important story from the margins of our
history—and from our country's most forbidding frontier. Deeply researched and feelingly told,Â
The Storm On Our Shores is a heartbreaking tale of tragedy and redemption.―—Hampton
Sides, bestselling author of Ghost Soldiers, In the Kingdom of Ice, and On Desperate
Ground“A riveting true tale of a soldierâ€s lost diary, The Storm on Our Shores is a vital
reminder of grace, forgiveness and the power of words to heal.― —Ruth Ozeki, author ofÂ
A Tale for the Time Being“Mark Obmascik is a master storyteller. He writes with tremendous
grace about a forgotten part of our history, telling the same story from two opposing points of
view—perhaps the only way warfare can truly be understood. He brings to life in gritty detail the
enormity of the sacrifices made on both sides of the conflict, and thus enables us to appreciate the
terrible price of war anew.―— Helen Thorpe, author of Soldier Girls, The Newcomers, and
Just Like Us“Pulitzer Prize–winning journalist Obmascik . . . serves up a moving, intimate
tale of two men, two families, and two countries that intersected at the forgotten WWII battle of
Attu. . . . Obmascikâ€s account of their relationshipâ€s growth reinforces the compassion of
everyone involved. This poignant, dramatic tale will captivate both younger readers less familiar
with the details of WWII history and those who are passionate about it.― —Publishers Weekly
(starred review)“A poignant chronicle of the deeply complicated emotions surrounding the
American-Japanese hostility stoked by World War II. . . . Obmascik has carefully and fairly sifted
through the layers to this complex story, offering a tightly focused examination of the different,
misleading translations of Tatsuguchi's diary as well as Laird's efforts to get the diary back to his
family. An evenhanded, compassionate portrayal of the two deeply wounded sides to this story.―
—Kirkus Reviews'Mr. Obmascik has found a remarkable story and dug deeply to enrich the
telling... (A)n engrossing and at times deeply moving book. The reader will not soon forget Attu, or
the courage and humanity of Dick Laird and Paul Tatsuguchi. The two men are in some sense bit
players in history, but here they take on almost Shakespearean heft, especially in the cruel
choices they must make.' —Wall Street Journal'Compelling story of a little-known battle. . . . The
emotional story of two families brought together by war—and eventually peace—is a tragic look
at the destruction brought about by conflict. It is also a story of redemption that comes from
forgiveness and understanding.' —The Denver Post Mark Obmascik is a Pulitzer

Prize–winning journalist and bestselling author of The Big Year,
