THE ELECTION APPROACHES...
Ken Yamaoka, a third-generation Japanese-American, has all the qualifications of a presidential candidate: he studied at Yale, he fought in the front lines in Vietnam, and he has been a Senator for several terms. Now, as he challenges the Vice President for the Democratic presidential nomination, a young Japanese journalist, Takashi Jo, heads to America to study the past that shaped him and the hard--and hardly idealistic--political race ahead. Intelligent, exciting, critically acclaimed, EAGLE presents a near-future vision of America as seen through the eyes of one of Japan's most politically aware manga artists. This tremendous graphic novel collects the monthly EAGLE 5-8 just in time for the actual election!
IN THIS VOLUME:
Takashi investigates Yamaoka's past, learning of the struggle between young Yamaoka and his father; the term in Vietnam that nearly killed him; and the story of Patricia Hampton, Yamaoka's wife and the inheritor of millions, who met him in their college years. But today, is he a hardened, pragmatic opportunist, or is he still the idealistic young man that Patricia loved? As the New York primaries approach, Yamaoka vies with Democratic front-runner Albert Noah for the endorsement of Gilbert Blackburn, mayor of NYC and political power broker. But as the TV debates begin, Takashi discovers that racism in America is far from dead...
