Deja Vu

5.0 out of 5 starsThe true "Yellow Peril" was the cowardice of our own government.
By Prof. Dragon on September 15, 2014
Format: Paperback
We tend to be smug about the integrity of civil and political rights in the U.S., even in the post-911 world, as our privacy of communication and security of person and papers continues to dwindle. Iron's exhaustively researched book chronicles institutional and systematic deprivation of fundamental rights of Japanese-Americans in the dawn of World War II. It is a stark reminder that even citizens born on U.S. soil can fall victim to the perils of convenient political decisions born of hysterical rhetoric. We have only to glance at our own political landscape of warrantless searches of our communications by the N.S.A., American citizens held incognito and incommunicado without hearings on suspicion alone and extra-judicial assassinations of American citizens overseas to have a sense of the current degradation of constitutional rights. Justice at War is a must for your civil and political rights collection.
