Synopsis

First Class: Nisei Linguists in World War II, Origins of the Military Intelligence Service Language Program starts with the school's very first members- to capture the story that history nearly forgot. Through oral history histories, memoirs and rare photographs, David W. Swift Jr. (whose Caucasian father was among these men) documents the Military Intelligence Service (MIS) First Class. One month before the attack on Pearl Harbor, these men, mostly Japanese American enlisted soldiers were secretly recruited and trained at the Presidio in San Francisco. They made vital contributions to America's war effort, helping to shorten the war in the Pacific. Their personal accounts detail their classified exploits as translators, interrogators and interpreters in every major battled in the Pacific. First Class threads together an intricate tale of patriotism in a time of war- as told by those who live it.
