{"product_id":"times-square-samurai-9781462912858","title":"Times-Square Samurai","description":"\u003cdiv\u003eTwenty years of story-telling have passed since American troops first \"occupied\" themselves in Japan—years of storing up, savoring, and enlarging on those zany GI escapades that are responsible for prolonging many a coffee break and extending many a \"just for a quickie\" bar stop. Today, little reality remains in the stories even for the chest thumping vet, let alone his breathless listeners.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBut here's where Bob Johnson and Bill Chadbourne—vets themselves—put a little perspective back into those occupation memories with this rib-tickling cartoon account of what actually happened…with a major switch. The shoe, or in this case the geta, is on the other foot and it is New York that is imaginatively occupied by the Japanese.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis turn-about is sure to give the GI a look at himself that he has never seen before. It will also introduce his heretofore unwary listeners to the real occupation story, the one responsible for adding a new, rollicking chapter to American humor.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Robert B.
