Nurse Wilson and her colleague Denise Bagby had two weeks of intensive training in "limited obstetrical ultrasound," practicing on pregnant women recruited from local doctors' offices and churches and by word of mouth. They learned how to confirm and date a pregnancy and measure a fetus--but not how to diagnose fetal abnormality. Two medical directors sign off on every report.

Hoping to return home to his pregnant wife, Saigo breaks from the traditional Japanese codes of honor, struggling to persevere even with no hope of Japanese victory rather than honorably committing suicide for the country. Through the journey, Eastwood reveals the stark contrast between Japanese and American mentalities of honor...
