About the Author:
Bill Hosokawa, a native of Seattle, began his career in 1938 editing the Singapore Herald and then the Heart Mountain Sentinel (in a WWII relocation camp). He wrote for the Denver Post for thirty-eight years and the Rocky Mountain News for seven more, and published numerous books over the course of his life.
Review:
"Hosokawa cuts through the haze and, without any special pleading, in stark dispassionate reporting limns a classic laboratory case of governmental and human fallibilities suddenly converging in monstrous injustice."
—The New York Times Book Review
". . . personal, charming, at times wistful and sad."
—Washington Post
". . . a restrained and valuable study of the Nisei, 'second generation' Americans of Japanese descent, and of their immigrant parents, the Issei."
