Summary: | Through vividly recollected personal experiences, the author provides an account of how the U.S. government ignored the Constitution and rounded up innocent people, locking them up solely on the basis of race. He describes how he, his wife, their infant child, and tens of thousands of other Japanese Americans were herded into U.S. detention camps during World War II despite being American citizens guilty of no crime.
