Addendum to Personal Justice Denied
Index
Personal Justice Denied is one of the seminal documents illuminating recent Asian American history. Its findings made possible the longdelayed monetary redress for the unjustified wartime incarceration of most mainland Japanese Americans in concentration camps. -- Roger Daniels, author of Asian America: Chinese and Japanese in the United States since 1850 A document of profound historical significance, Personal Justice Denied is a testament to the fragility of democracy, but also to its strength when we the people resolve to right a great wrong. -- Gary Y. Okihiro, author of Whispered Silences: Japanese Americans and World War II
