In the mountains of Italy and the forests of France, they are tested by impossible odds, devastating loss, and the brutal realities of war.As Daniel struggles to survive the battlefields of Europe, those he loves remain imprisoned back home. Torn between duty, family, and the hope of returning to the life that was stolen from him, he discovers that courage is measured not only by the enemies you face-but by the principles you refuse to abandon.Proven in Blood is an epic story of love, honor, sacrifice, and survival inspired by the extraordinary legacy of the Japanese American soldiers who changed history while their families remained behind barbed wire.
