"Historian Marrin (FDR and the American Crisis, 2015, etc.) writes
with brutal honesty and conviction about a shameful period in
American history. He constructs a detailed, well-researched
narrative of horrific worldwide events leading up to the 'day of
infamy'" —Kirkus Reviews starred review
"With masterful command of his subject and a clear, conversational
style, Marrin (FDR and the American Crisis) lays bare the suffering
inflicted upon Japanese Americans by the U.S. during
WWII."—Publishers Weekly starred review
"As with Marrin’s Flesh and Blood So Cheap (2011) and FDR and
the American Crisis (2015), this is a prodigiously researched,
indispensable work of history, generously illustrated with
period photographs. It belongs on every library’s
shelves." —Booklist starred review
"Packed with details yet well organized and carefully annotated,
this excellent treatment of a shameful episode in U.S. history is
highly recommended for library collections serving
