Daniel James Brown delivers 18th annual North Idaho Distinguished Humanities Lecture
In the wake of the Dec. 7, 1941 attack on Pearl Harbor, young American men were called to action to enlist in the military to protect their country. Daniel James Brown, author of a true story of a rowing team that competed at the 1936 Berlin Olympics, "The Boys in the Boat," captured another true tale of heroism in "Facing the Mountain," which tells the stories of young Japanese-American heroes whose lives at home and on the battlefield were forever changed following that Day of Infamy.
