My New Book!

A
piece of good news today: my new book, tentatively titled "Presumed Traitors: The Hunt for Japanese American Disloyalty in World War II," was accepted for publication by the Board of Governors of the University of North Carolina Press.

The book tells the story of the various government bureaucracies that judged (and misjudged) the loyalty of 40,000 American citizens of Japanese ancestry between 1943 and 1945. It's a sad tale of civilian and military officials searching for an enemy within and mostly finding their own fears and prejudices.

It'll be out in about a year.

Congrats. Are you going to share a cut of the action with the winner of the title contest ;-)?
