Utilizing survivor interviews, private letters and memoirs, and historical archives, Richard Reeves’ Infamy is a sweeping narrative of the U.S. government’s forced imprisonment of 120,000 Japanese Americans during World War II. 

Jan Jarboe Russell’s The Train to Crystal City tells the shocking and never-before-heard story of a secret, FDR-approved World War II prisoner exchange program in which German, Japanese, and Italian immigrants and their American-born children were traded for “more important” American prisoners of war stuck behind enemy lines.
