Publisher Synopsis
?Connell deals with a little known but important matter regarding US policy during WW II. Rapid Japanese expansion early in the war placed many US citizens, especially those having "non-official" status, in vulnerable positions....Connell's account effectively discusses divisions between the State and Justice Departments, the devious actions of Embassy personnel like John Emmerson, and the experiences of Peruvian Japanese victims like Seiichi Higashide. Descriptions of life at the Crystal City and Kenedy camps in Texas, as well as an analysis of the environment that remaining inmates confronted at the end of the war, are especially interesting.... a nice companion to works on the treatment of Japanese Americans during the war years. Recommended. Graduate students and researchers.?-Choice "Connell deals with a little known but important matter regarding US policy during WW II.
