Having graduated early from\n    <a class=\"encyc notrg\" href=\"https://encyclopedia.densho.org/wiki/McKinley_High_School\" title=\"McKinley High School\">\n     McKinley High School\n    </a>\n    , Eddy wants to join the army like his two good friends, Nick \"Chik\" Matsumura and Takei \"Cobra\" Uehara. When vandals torch a boat his father had worked hard to build, he decides to take action and alters his birth certificate so that he can enlist. Having not told his family beforehand, his father refuses to speak to him.\n   </p>\n   <p>\n    Initially assigned to Schofield Barracks alongside Chik and Cobra, Eddy is home on leave when\n    <a class=\"encyc notrg\" href=\"https://encyclopedia.densho.org/wiki/December_7,_1941\" title=\"December 7, 1941\">\n     Pearl Harbor is attacked\n    </a>\n    . Rushing back to duty after the attack, he and the other Nisei soldiers face one humiliation after another from distrustful commanding officers: having their guns taken away and being put under armed guard, being assigned menial labor tasks, and guarding a beach in Waimanalo while white troops are positioned above to guard them. After five months, they finally ship out, landing in San Francisco, then heading to\n    <a class=\"encyc notrg\" href=\"https://encyclopedia.densho.org/wiki/Camp_McCoy_(detention_facility)\" title=\"Camp McCoy (detention facility)\">\n     Camp McCoy\n    </a>\n    , where they see interned Japanese Americans. One night, about twenty-five of the Nisei are woken up and flown to Mississippi, where they become the bait in an ill-advised scheme to train dogs to recognize the \"Japanese scent.\" The sometimes harrowing duty with the dogs builds a bond between the Nisei men, though the venture predictably fails. At novel's end, the men are sent to Camp Shelby to rejoin the other members of the\n    <a class=\"encyc notrg\" href=\"https://encyclopedia.densho.org/wiki/100th_Infantry_Battalion\" title=\"100th Infantry Battalion\">\n     100th Infantry Battalion\n    </a>\n    .

Captain Parrish, mechanical drawing teacher turned supportive commanding officer, was modeled after Major James Lovell, the much admired real life executive officer of the 100th Infantry Battalion. A subplot in the book involves one of Eddy's compatriots rescuing a Japanese sailor named Sakamaki while patrolling Waimanalo Beach and Eddy later encountering him as a POW. This character is based on Ensign Kazuo Sakamaki, the first Japanese captured in the attack on Pearl Harbor, though the exact circumstances of his capture and internment are slightly different than what is presented in the book.\n   </p>\n  </div>\n </div>\n <div class=\"section\" id=\"Background_of_Book\">\n  <h2>\n   <span class=\"mw-headline\" id=\"Background_of_Book\">\n    Background of Book\n   </span>\n  </h2>\n  <div class=\"section_content\">\n   <p>\n    Author Graham Salisbury (1944– ) was born in Philadelphia, but mostly raised in Hawai'i, where his family has long roots going back to the early 1800s. His father, Henry Forester Graham, was a naval officer who survived the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor, but who was later killed when his plane was shot down in the Pacific on Graham's first birthday. Salisbury grew up the windward side of O'ahu and also in Kailua-Kona and Kamuela on the Big Island where he boarded at Hawaii Preparatory Academy from the 7th grade. Taken by music at a young age, her pursued a music career in the 1960s, recording as part of the well-known Sunshine Pop band The Millennium and also as a solo artist under the name \"Sandy Salisbury.\" He also worked on a deep-sea fishing boat and as the skipper of a glass-bottom boat. He eventually went on to graduate from California State University, Northridge in 1974 with the intention of becoming a teacher. He cites a reading of Alex Haley's\n    <i>\n     Roots\n    </i>\n    \"which changed my live forever,\" inspiring him to become a reader and eventually a writer. After graduating with an M.F.A. from Vermont College of Norwich University in 1990, he published his first novel for young adults,\n    <i>\n     Blue Skin of the Sea\n    </i>\n    (1992) to great acclaim. It set the template for his future books in that it was set in Hawai'i and was a coming of age story with a teenage boy as protagonist intended for an audience of teenage boys.\n    <a class=\"external text offsite\" href=\"https://archive.org/details/underbloodredsun00grah\" rel=\"nofollow\">\n     <i>\n      Under the Blood Red Sun\n     </i>\n    </a>\n    followed in 1994.\n    <sup class=\"reference\" id=\"cite_ref-ftnt_ref1_1-0\">\n     <a class=\"\" href=\"#cite_note-ftnt_ref1-1\">\n      [1]\n     </a>\n    </sup>\n   </p>\n   <p>\n    The success of\n    <i>\n     Under the Blood Red Sun\n    </i>\n    inspired Salisbury to focus on the Japanese American story in later books. He came upon the idea for\n    <i>\n     Eyes of the Emperor\n    </i>\n    from reading the first account by one of the men involved, Raymond Nosaka, in the book\n    <i>\n     Japanese Eyes . . . American Heart: Personal Reflections of Hawaii's World War II Nisei Soldiers\n    </i>\n    (Hawaii Nikkei History Editorial Board, Honolulu: Tendai Educational Foundation, 1998). Amazed and horrified by the story, he set about investigating further. \"I sat down with Raymond [Nosaka] and the other men and essentially asked them if I could tell their story, and they agreed, so everything in this book is true,\" he told Shara Yuki Enay when the book came out in 2005. \"This whole experiment just shocked me, and that's why I feel like it's about time that people know about what the U.S. government did to these guys.\" Salisbury ended up interviewing eight of the men involved in the project and visited the sites of the project in Mississippi.\n    <sup class=\"reference\" id=\"cite_ref-ftnt_ref2_2-0\">\n     <a class=\"\" href=\"#cite_note-ftnt_ref2-2\">\n      [2]\n     </a>\n    </sup>\n   </p>\n   <p>\n    Salisbury has to date written two more books featuring a Japanese American protagonist during World War II:\n    <i>\n     <a class=\"encyc rg\" href=\"/wiki/House of the Red Fish (book)/\" title=\"House of the Red Fish (book)\">\n      House of the Red Fish\n     </a>\n    </i>\n    (2006), a direct sequel to\n    <a class=\"external text offsite\" href=\"https://archive.org/details/underbloodredsun00grah\" rel=\"nofollow\">\n     <i>\n      Under the Blood Red Sun\n     </i>\n    </a>\n    , and\n    <a class=\"encyc rg\" href=\"/wiki/Hunt for the Bamboo Rat (book)/\" title=\"Hunt for the Bamboo Rat (book)\">\n     Hunt for the Bamboo Rat\n    </a>\n    \" (2014).\n   </p>\n  </div>\n </div>\n <div class=\"section\" id=\"Historical_Accuracy_and_Response\">\n  <h2>\n   <span class=\"mw-headline\" id=\"Historical_Accuracy_and_Response\">\n    Historical Accuracy and Response\n   </span>\n  </h2>\n  <div class=\"section_content\">\n   <p>\n    Based as it is on a real incident as recalled by many of the men involved in it, the story has a high degree of historical accuracy. Journalist Enay, who interviewed several of the survivors of the dog mission at a 2005 book signing reported that all of them agreed that the book was an \"accurate account of what they experienced, right down to the good fishing they enjoyed in their down time.\"\n   </p>\n   <p>\n    There is one element of book that is fictionalized in a way that can be seen as misleading. When the men first land in the continental U.S., they are taken for training to Camp McCoy in Wisconsin. While there, they see Japanese American inmates, \"[m]en and women, young, old,\" Salisbury writes. \"Except for Sakamaki, it wasn't a place for enemies but for people the government had kicked out of all those West Coast states.\" While Camp McCoy was indeed used as an internment camp for Japanese Americans, it was not part of the mass roundup of Japanese Americans from the West Coast as implied by the text. Rather it was one of several camps run by the army to house enemy aliens who were on\n    <a class=\"encyc notrg\" href=\"https://encyclopedia.densho.org/wiki/Custodial_detention_/_A-B-C_list\" title=\"Custodial detention / A-B-C list\">\n     custodial detention lists\n    </a>\n    and who were arrested in the days and weeks after the attack on Pearl Harbor and mostly before the mass roundup of West Coast Japanese Americans began. The Japanese American internees at Camp McCoy were thus all male and almost all were\n    <a class=\"encyc notrg\" href=\"https://encyclopedia.densho.org/wiki/Issei\" title=\"Issei\">\n     Issei\n    </a>\n    , with many having been arrested in Hawai'i. Though there are conflicting accounts, it also appears that the Hawai'i internees (between 160 and 188 in number, depending on the source) at Camp McCoy had been moved to another camp before the 100th Battalion arrived there.\n    <sup class=\"reference\" id=\"cite_ref-ftnt_ref3_3-0\">\n     <a class=\"\" href=\"#cite_note-ftnt_ref3-3\">\n      [3]\n     </a>\n    </sup>\n   </p>\n   <p>\n    Reviews for the book were uniformly positive with reviewers praising the book for being both exciting and nuanced, for its rooting in a real historical story, and for its ties to present day issues.
