The important and previously undocumented event in the history
of the Second World War: the negotiation of 'prisoner' exchanges
between the United States and Japan during 1941 to 1943, is
examined here by Bruce Elleman.
Approximately 7000 American citizens had been arrested by the
Japanese authorities while visiting Japan as tourists, conducting
business, teaching English or carrying out missionary work. The
same amount of Japanese citizens living illegally in the United
States had to be repatriated to secure the Americans'
release.
Challenging the conventional perceptions regarding the role and
justification of the detention camp, this insightful book addresses
questions regarding the diplomatic agreement between Japan and the
United States, the Japanese-American detention camps and the role
of one of the most successful minority groups in the United States
today: the Japanese-Americans.
