The Mass Internment of Japanese Americans and the Quest for Legal Redress / Edition 1

by Charles J. McClain, Charles McClain

Overview

In 1942 U.S. military authorities, invoking a presidential order and an Act of Congress, forcibly evacuated over 110,000 persons of Japnese ancestry, most of them U/S. citizens, from their homes on the West Coast to what in fact were prison camps inland. The essays and articles in this volume explore this most extraordinary episode in American constitutional history.
