Described as the "Bible of the Redress Movement," this landmark work provided the documentary evidence that contributed directly to the passage of the Civil Liberties Act of 1988, which provided reparations to surviving Japanese-American internees.[From front jacket flap] Here is the first book to expose fully the bitter truth behind "the single worst wholesale violation of civil rights of Americans in our history" (the World War II evacuation and internment of 110,000 Japanese Americans): Why the secret pre-Pearl Harbor loyalty investigation, conducted under President Franklin D. Roosevelt's own mandate, was ignored when it concluded, unequivocally, that persons of Japanese ancestry posed no threat to national security. How the military accomplished the unconstitutional surgical removal of a minority, "legally."
