Description
'A poignant memoir from a Japanese American. . . . Told without bitterness, her story reflects the
triumph of the human spirit during an extraordinary episode in American history.'—Library
Journal '[Jeanne Wakatsuki Houston] describes vividly the life in the camp and the humiliations
suffered by the detainees... A sober and moving personal account.'—Publishers Weekly
“[This] book provides an often vivid, impressionistic picture of how the forced isolation affected
the internees. All in all, a dramatic, telling account of one of the most reprehensible events in the
history of Americaâ€s treatment of its minorities.―—New York Times “A classic.―—
