Although this wartime episode is now almost universally recognized as a catastrophe, for decades various government officials and agencies defended their actions by asserting a military necessity.   The Commission on Wartime Relocation and Internment was established by act of Congress in 1980 to investigate the detention program. Over twenty days, it held hearings in cities across the country, particularly on the West Coast, with testimony from more than 750 witnesses: evacuees, former government officials, public figures, interested citizens, and historians and other professionals. It took steps to locate and to review the records of government action and to analyze contemporary writings and personal and historical accounts. The Commission's report is a masterful summary of events surrounding the wartime relocation and detention activities, \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003ePrologue by the Civil Liberties Public Education Fund\u003cbr\u003e Foreword \u003cbr\u003e Introduction\u003cbr\u003e Summary\u003cbr\u003e PART ONE: NISEI AND ISSEI\u003cbr\u003e Before Pearl Harbor\u003cbr\u003e Executive order 9066\u003cbr\u003e Exclusion and Evacuation\u003cbr\u003e Economic Loss\u003cbr\u003e Assembly Centers\u003cbr\u003e Relocation Centers\u003cbr\u003e Loyalty: Leave and Segregation\u003cbr\u003e Ending the Exclusion\u003cbr\u003e Protest and Disaffection\u003cbr\u003e Military Service\u003cbr\u003e Hawaii\u003cbr\u003e Germans and German Americans\u003cbr\u003e After Camp\u003cbr\u003e Appendix: Latin Americans\u003cbr\u003e PART TWO: THE ALEUTS\u003cbr\u003e War and Evacuation in Alaska\u003cbr\u003e Notes to Parts One and Two\u003cbr\u003e PART THREE: RECOMMENDATIONS\u003cbr\u003e PART FOUR: PAPERS FOR THE COMMISSION\u003cbr\u003e Addendum to \u003ci\u003ePersonal Justice Denied\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Index\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"University of Washington Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49400909234519,"sku":"9780295975580","price":29.66,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9780295975580.jpg?v=1730471915","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/personal-justice-denied-9780295975580","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
