About this title:

Synopsis: Describes the tragic tale of injustice and racial hatred against a minority caught in the crosshairs of a world war.

From School Library Journal: Grade 8 Up—This blow-by-blow account begins with a description of the shock and disbelief that accompanied the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor. Proceeding in chronological order, clearly written chapters outline the impact of the bombing, the history of Japanese immigrants and citizens in the United States, Executive Order 9066 (permitting evacuation and internment of Japanese citizens on the West coast), Japanese American participation in the armed forces, reparations, and the legacy left by the internment. The text is detailed and clear, extended well by period photos, both in black-and-white and color. Sidebars highlight areas of particular interest, such as the actual language of Executive Order 9066, primary-source recounting of life in the camps, and the Military Intelligence Service Language School. This is a logical next step for students who read Jeanne Wakatsuki Houston's Farewell to Manzanar (Random, 1983) or Michael O. Tunnell's The Children of Topaz (Holiday House, 1996) and want to fill in the gaps in their knowledge. A sound reference and research work.—Ann Welton, Helen B. Stafford Elementary, Tacoma, WA
