Imprisoned: The Betrayal of Japanese Americans during World War II - ESSENTIAL

Sandler, Martin W. Imprisoned: The Betrayal of Japanese Americans during World War II, 167 p. 

Sandler brings a fresh, new, detailed look to the story of Japanese-Americans imprisoned in America during World War II.  Using a wealth of photographs, interviews and documents, Sandler breathes life into his subject, being just stark enough to convey the irony of the situation.  Each page is fascinating to read.  You probably already have books on this subject, but this one will engages readers of many different ages.  And the wealth of supplemental materials would also aide any teacher covering the subject, especially if they use a document camera to share.
