Über diesen Titel

Críticas:

Fascinating and shattering . . . extraordinary history. * The New York Times * Replete with incriminating documents which verify . . . events which led to . . . American concentration camps. . . . The documentation . . . is so complete as to allow no other definition. . . . The grim reality bursts forth from every page. * El Paso Herald-Post * Very detailed, nightmarish account . . . painstakingly vivid portrayal of what could be the most grotesque and saddest chapter in our two-century history . . . terrible testimonial to a monumental wrong. * Bestsellers * Certainly the most thoroughly documented account of WWII Japanese American internment. ..Behind the claim of `military necessity' Weglyn points to the U.S. desire for a `barter reserve'--i.e. hostages of war. Also discussed is the little known fact that Japanese nationals from . . . Latin American countries were exported to the U.S. ..Formidable. * Kirkus Reviews *

Reseña del editor:

"A truly excellent and moving book . . . The story of the concentration camps for Japanese has often been told, but usually with an emphasis on the silver lining. . . . Michi Weglyn concentrates instead on the other side of the picture. Years of Infamy is hard hitting but fair and balanced. It is a terrible story of administrative callousness and bungling, untold damage to the human soul, confusion, and terror."-Edwin O. Reischauer, former U.S. Ambassador to Japan
