Description
Uesato begins the interview speaking about his family background, including his mother and father. Next, he talks about keeping up with the wars overseas and how unexpected the attacks on Pearl Harbor were. Living in Hawaii at the time, they were close to the action but were fortunately unharmed and although his father was questioned occasionally, he was never imprisoned. Following this, Uesato was drafted into the army and began his time with the Military Intelligence Service at Camp Savage in Minnesota. Following his language training, he was shipped overseas to India to begin interrogations in New Delhi.
