Imprisoned

As World War II raged abroad, fear and suspicion toward Americans of Japanese descent swept the country. Culling information from extensive, previously unpublished interviews and oral histories of Japanese American internment camp survivors, Martin W. Sandler gives an in-depth account of their lives before, during, and after their imprisonment. Bringing readers inside life in the internment camps, this in-depth look at a troubling period of American history sheds light on the prejudices in today's world and provides the historical context that can help prevent similar abuses of power from happening in the future.
