Title: An unbelievable story and a great storyteller
Review: I was utterly amazed when I first learned that the U.S. drafted some of the very same Japanese-American men that the government interned on suspicion of disloyalty during World War II. I was further amazed when I learned that the government criminally prosecuted those among them who resisted the draft. This book tells this incredible story with balance, grace, and insight. The pages pull you along as you quickly get wrapped up in the lives of the resisters and those in the government and in their own ethnic community who opposed them. The highpoint of the book for me was Muller's account of the one resisters' trial that did not result in convictions. A lone federal district court judge bucked the government and dismissed the charges on the grounds that they offended basic notions of due process. This last story is a "profile in courage" particularly appropriate to our current circumstances. Read this book.
