Reviews

No other book published so far includes all the different places covered here; nor do other books so thoroughly cover the minutiae of the internees' daily life, including the raising of livestock and crops. The structures and artifacts remaining at each site are also documented, and the text is rounded out by historic and contemporary photographs, maps, diagrams, charts, tables, architectural drawings, and other information drawn from archives, reports, and memoirs. The result is a valuable and poignant study. Library Journal
