Ben Kuroki was championed as the first Nisei war hero, and this boy from Nebraska has long deserved a full-length biography. Gregg Jones has come through with a meticulously researched and compelling story that vividly captures the man behind the myth.

Last Stand at Khe Sanh: The U.S. Marines' Finest Hour in Vietnam
"This is a book about what it is like to fight desperately, often at night, for your own survival. The long siege at Khe Sanh was one of the true horrors of the Vietnam War, and Gregg Jones gives it to us in all of its bloody, often hopeless, and heroic detail. Based largely on interviews with the Marines who were there, Last Stand at Khe Sanh stands as a remarkable record of what they did."
- S.C. Gwynne, author of Empire of the Summer Moon and Rebel Yell
Red Revolution: Inside the Philippine Guerrilla Movement
"Red Revolution is a seminal account of the origins and development of the communist-led New People's Army. Through his painstaking research and, particularly, dozens of interviews with NPA founders, current leaders, and followers, Gregg Jones has made an enormous contribution to an understanding of this indigenous revolutionary movement."
- Stephen W. Bosworth, former U.S. ambassador to the Philippines
