 Amazon.com: Underground : The Tokyo Gas Attack and the Japanese Psyche (Vintage International): Books: Haruki Murakami   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
"Underground" is distinctive in how effortlessly it reads, how seamlessly it blends from one story to the next, and how casually it draws lines of connection from one story to the next.
Stories are corroborated and contradicted and the picture that emerges in the end is one with as much confusion and untold stories as the incident itself spawned.
It's a rare book because the victims are allowed to tell their stories, even when they protest that their stories are not as important as others', because Murakami does not intrude with theories or arguments or condescending empathy, because people are treated as people, and not just as casualties or cult members.

 Volume collects lost stories of underground railroad
CHAMPAIGN, Ill. — Long-lost stories about one of the most complex, secretive, dangerous and successful collaborations among fl freemen, slaves and white abolitionists are told in a new book, “Fleeing for Freedom: Stories of the Underground Railroad” (Ivan R. Dee).
Throughout the time that abolitionists – including their wives and often children – engaged in Underground Railroad activities, slavery was legal in the United States, and they and other abolitionists, as well as the runaway slaves, were in violation of state and federal laws.
The memoirs were published in the 1870s, but were largely forgotten “in part because of their daunting length,” said George Hendrick, an emeritus professor of English at the University of Illinois.

 Safe Harbor - documenting Underground Railroad stories
People often say the Underground Railroad was a secret activity and, therefore, you can’t document it, and you can’t know about it, and it’s largely myth and fiction, and we’re finding that’s not particularly true.
It’s out there in court cases in the oral traditions, it’s out there in letters and diaries and journals that are still in the hands of the descendants of these people.
It is a difficult situation with the Underground Railroad to be able to preserve the history and the stories of the people that were involved, when so many of them no longer have sites that are there.
