On Sunday, June 29th, George Sidline will give a presentation about his new book Somehow We’ll Survive: Life in Japan through the Eyes of a Young Caucasian Boy. In this memoir, Mr. Sidline, who was seven years old in 1941, describes what life was like for his family living in Kobe, including their friendships with American POWs at Marks House, adjacent to the Sidline home. The author was persuaded to write this book by many people who were unaware that foreigners lived in Japan during the war. This book is a must-read for anyone interested in this little known aspect of the periphery of war in the Pacific.
