Life Behind Barbed Wire: The World War II Internment Memoirs of a Hawaii Issei

Yasutaro Soga was wrongfully denied his civil liberties simply due to his Nationality. There never was any due process for thousands of Japanese and Americans of Japanaese Ancestry. These types of internment and concentration camps only breed distrust and anger towards the interning government. they were not prisoners of war or convicted criminals, yet they were imprisoned, in Soga’s case, from the first day of the war (he was being surveilled based on racial profiling), until well after the end of hostilities.the us continues such practice to this day.

Great book about Japanese American who was taken from Hawaii to New Mexico during WWII and imprisoned. Includes some of his great Tanka Poems.
