TEXTBOOK INFORMATION
This diligently documented book shows that neither the internment of ethnic Japanese--not to mention ethnic Germans and Italians--nor the relocation and evacuation of Japanese Americans from the West Coast were the result of war hysteria or race prejudice as historians have taught us.

August 01, 2009: My family are Japanese Americans. There were in the camps. When I heard about the book I was all geared up to write the author a multipage NastyGram. I was all set to take her and her arguement apart. But then I read page after page of reserch, and I had to ask myself "what would I do, if I was in power at the time and my country was fighting for its life?"
My conclusion is that the Japanease Americans who were sent to the camps were part of the tragidy of war. More, even though they were prisioners, I veiw thier imprisionment as a service to out nation, just as those in uniform served. This is not to say there was not a great National shame in the way these brave, patriotic, and honorable people were ignored for so many decades. So much was taken from them and for too long thier sacrifices were ignored. Malkin's book does not go into that part of history but it does answere the larger question of what happened and why. General George S. Patton said "If everyone is thinking alike, someone isn't thinking!" Machelle Malkin has dared to think. History is better for it.Reader Rating:

March 03, 2008: Michelle again makes her point with facts. The liberals and 'Woodstock type people,' who want to just love everyone, just don't get her and the danger America faces. Thanks Michelle for a great read.
