About the Book
Saipan, in the Northern Mariana Islands, saw one of the fiercest battles of the World War II in the Pacific. Today, the island is a tropical paradise, yet still bears the scars of war in plain view. The photographer and author of this book first came to Saipan as an exchange student in the mid-1970s and returned more than 30 years later. His reflections on how life had gone on in place that had seen such trauma and tragedy led to this collection of photographs and accompanying text.
