INFAMY: The Shocking Story of the Japanese-American Internment in World War II
Bestselling author Richard Reeves provides an authoritative account of the internment of more than 120,000 Japanese-Americans and Japanese aliens during World War II in his 2015 release Infamy: The Shocking Story of the Japanese-American Internment in World War II. Shortly after Japan bombed Pearl Harbor, President Roosevelt signed an executive order allowing the U.S. Army to immediately begin rounding up thousands of Japanese-Americans, sometimes giving them less than 24 hours to vacate their houses and farms. For the rest of the war, these victims of war hysteria were imprisoned in primitive camps. Richard Reeves will tell a story of the best and the worst of America on both sides of the barbed wire. The discussion will be moderated by Fred Katayama, Anchor/Producer, Reuters Television; Board Director: Japan Society, U.S.-Japan Council.
