兩個祖國 上
如果能夠只效忠一個國家、一面國旗，而不會遭受任何懷疑，是多麼幸福的事……
「你的祖國是……」
天羽賢治以前從來沒細想過這個問題。以血源來說，他是日本人；以國籍來說，他是美國人。第二代的日裔美國人應該都擁有兩個祖國。
戰爭，卻讓這個單純的想法變成不堪的困境。擔任記者的賢治因為曾經寫過一篇敏感的報導，而被美國政府關進戰俘營，後來又與全家人及所有日僑一起被隔離在沙漠的強制收容所。
難道這就是正義和人道嗎？只因為他們不是白皮膚、藍眼睛，就要承受如此的屈辱與歧視？
賢治的小弟勇想以鮮血來證明自己的忠誠，於是志願加入美軍，也讓家人得以離開收容所，但父親卻憤而與勇斷絕關係！賢治原本義無反顧地要貫徹「大和魂」，然而面對妻子和剛出生的兒子，百般糾結的情緒讓他備感煎熬……
