Teddy Maki and Jimmy Yakamoto are Japanese-American friends and jazz musicians playing Tokyo\"s lively nightclub scene. Stranded in Japan after the bombing of Pearl Harbor, Teddy and Jimmy are drafted into the Japanese army and sent to fight against American troops in the Philippines. Their perilous attempts to remain neutral in a conflict where their loyalties are deeply divided are shattered when Jimmy is killed by the commanding officer for refusing to shoot an American prisoner. The deed then falls to Teddy. Thirty years later, Teddy is married to Jimmy's widow, father to his son, a star on Japanese TV—and still wrestling with the guilt over Jimmy's death.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWinner of the 1987 PEN\/Faulkner Award for Best American Fiction, \u003ci\u003eSoldiers in Hiding\u003c\/i\u003e is a haunting portrayal of war's lingering emotional burdens.
