"This history of the Japanese American Citizens League was written not only for its thirty thousand members but also to answer JACL's critics, notably the Sansei--third-generation Japanese Americans--many of whom believe their fathers should have resisted the Evacuation during World War ll. Did JACL chart a wise course of cooperation with the federal government, or did it betray American principles and its own constituents by urging them to accept evacuation to U.S. Army-operated concentration camps? One of the most important purposes of the book is to take the Sansei back to those tragic, controversial years and show them exactly what their fathers confronted. Not only did they meet that crisis in what seemed the only way feasible at the time, but JACL has fought for full rights of citizenship for Japanese Americans ever since the war with remarkable success--an extraordinary record of accomplishment despite limited resources and membership. This book is for everyone concerned about ways in which Congress and the Supreme Court can fail to uphold the Constitution, and for those who will appreciate the story of one minority group's total--and nonviolent--victory over discrimination."--Dust jacket.

Stephen Fox unveils a forgotten chapter of the American experience in the first book to reveal the federal government's policy of internment of Italian and German nationals during World War II. From February to December 1942, approximately 10,000 California residents were relocated from their homes, and several hundred were interned. Fox presents their oral testimony as a powerful reminder of the often precarious state of civil liberties. Testimony from government officials together with a chronological historical narrative explain the decision-making, implementation and retraction of the relocation order. Government documents, newspapers and 45 interviews with relocated aliens or their surviving family members are the books' principle sources. Fox also explains why the government decided to end its round-up policy nine months after it began, and compares the experiences of Italians and Germans with the internment of Japanese Americans.
