"""The great strength of John Howard's book is that he not only asks new questions about the familiar story of the camps, but also that he has done a great deal of original research in material that has been largely unexploited. This is not a standard kind of camp history but something else - more imaginative but deeply rooted in the sources created by administrators and inmates. This is an important book, often gripping, and sure to be controversial."" - Roger Daniels, author of Prisoners Without Trial: Japanese Americans and World War II"""
