About the book

Gambatte' means do your best and never give up and that spirit is at the heart of David Tsubouchi's life story. This memoir of the former Ontario cabinet minister begins as his family strives for acceptance amid the imprisonment of Canadians of Japanese descent and the confiscation of their property, possessions and businesses by the Mackenzie King Liberal government in 1941. Tsubouchi was the first person of Japanese descent elected in Canada as a municipal politician and, as an MPP, to serve as a cabinet minister.'
