About This Item
New York: Random House Vintage Books, 1989. Oblong paperback, xx + 167 pages including Adams' black-and-white photographs; very clean and unmarked unread condition (I would blush to call a now 33-year old book as new, but no flaws are evident to my tired old eyes). See also our listing for Allan Bosworth's America's Concentration Camps: The shocking story of 110, 000 Americans behind barbed wire - in the United States - during World War II. Their crime: Japanese ancestors, and for a Canadian perspective on this issue, see our listings for Barry Broadfoot's classic oral history Years of Sorrow, Years of Shame: The Story of the Japanese Canadians in World War II, and for Patricia Roy's Mutual Hostages: Canadians and Japanese During the Second World War (buy two or more and save on postage!).. First Thus. Soft Cover. Fine.
