{"product_id":"ocho-ocho-my-childhood-in-war-torn-asia","title":"Ocho, Ocho: My Childhood in War-Torn Asia","description":"Told in a series of letters to her eight grandchildren, Ocho, Ocho recounts Anna's tumultuous childhood growing up in China and the Philippines during World War II. Born in 1934 on the Chinese island of Hainan to Presbyterian missionaries, Anna describes life under Japanese occupation as she remembers it.\nThe author's childhood in Hainan, China and internment by the Japanese in Los Banos, Phillipines, culminated in a rescue by MacArthur's 11th Airborne Division in 1945 during the battle of Iwo Jima. Anna went to Shanghai American School as a teenager, but was evacuated in advance of Mao Zedong's successes.\nThis adolescent's view of World War II makes a great classroom tool.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 1591520959\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: BVV.1591520959.G\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Anna Bucher Jones\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: The item shows wear from consistent use, but it remains in good condition and works perfectly.
