This is one of my favorite kinds of history books- it's basically a book of primary sources with some short context/explanatory essays. It includes oral histories, poetry, artwork, official documents, diaries and excerpts from memoirs of people who were affected by the Japanese Internment during World War II. Most of the material is from Japanese Americans, but there are accounts from people who worked in the camps, from people who were not Japanese, but were also arrested or interned, and from those of Japanese ancestry who fought in WWII. It's part of a story that most Americans haven't been told in any sort of detail and this is a very accessible way of telling that story. I highly recommend it to everyone.
