Hardcover. Martin Sandler breaks new ground with an in depth look at Japanese internment during WWII Num Pages: 176 pages, illustrations. BIC Classification: 1FPJ; 1KBB; 3JJH; HBJK; HBWQ; JFSL1; JWXR. Category: (J) Children / Juvenile. Dimension: 272 x 226 x 18. Weight in Grams: 962.
While Americans fought for freedom and democracy abroad, fear and suspicion towards Japanese Americans swept the country after Japan's sneak attack on Pearl Harbor. Culling information from extensive, previously unpublished interviews and oral histories with Japanese American survivors of internment camps, Martin W. Sandler gives an in-depth account of their lives before, during their imprisonment, and after their release. Bringing readers inside life in the internment camps and explaining how a country that is built on the ideals of freedom for all could have such a dark mark on its history, 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 we need to prevent similar abuses of power.
