Nisei: Quiet Americans

Nisei: The Quiet Americans is a great book on the internment period of the Japanese Americans in World War II. It tells of the history of the Japanese coming to America, the development of the Japanese during the years before the war, and it vividly describes life in the internment barracks. I especially liked this book because it gave a comprehensive guide to the history of the Japanese Americans. Nisei: The Quiet Americans is an excellent addition to any history buff's bookshelf!
