While preparing a translation of Hitler's anti-Japanese writings to be distributed in Japan, the\n  \n   attack on Pearl Harbor\n  \n  occurs. Oka sends a telegram to President Roosevelt offering his services and expresses the desire that Japan lose the war as quickly as possible so that its militarist regime would be brought down; these actions lead to members of the Japanese American community branding him a traitor. He later volunteers to go to India despite his advanced age to write and distribute propaganda for the U.S. After the war, the Japanese community continues to shun him despite the fact that the events of the war, in his opinion, have proved the rightness of his actions.","url_title":"Am I a Traitor?
