Page vii Foreword Through vividly recollected personal experiences, Bill Hosokawa, this country's leading journalist of Japanese descent, provides a fresh and moving account of the greatest injustice in twentieth-century U.S. history, describing how he, his wife, their infant child, and tens of thousands of other Japanese Americans were herded into U.S. detention camps during World War II. Ignoring the Constitution, the U.S. government rounded up these innocent people and locked them away based solely on race. The fact that they were American citizens, and guilty of no crime, did not matter. Japanese Americans on the West Coast were taken from their homes and businesses to inland camps, including Heart Mountain Camp in Wyoming, where the Hosokawas were incarcerated.
