From interrogating Japanese prisoners of war to working as an anti-war activist, Ukiah California resident, Charles Fogg has led a varied and fascinating life. At 91 years of age he talks through his lifeâs journey. After studying Oriental studies at the University of California at Berkeley and travelling through Japan and China during those studies, he was drafted into the military and attended the Monterey Language School where his proficiency in Asian languages grew. During World War Two he interrogated Japanese prisoners of war and again in interrogating Chinese prisoners of war during the Korean conflict. After retiring from the U.S. army in 1966 as a Lieutenant Colonel he became active in George McGovernâs presidential campaign and the anti Vietnam War movement. I spoke with Charles Fogg on December 11th 2009 and began by asking him to describe his early travels in Japan and China. This interview was recorded in Ukiah on December 11th 2009. The book Charles Fogg recommends is âThe Raj Quartetâ by Paul Scott.
