What a powerful memoir. And so ineffably disturbing, that our country has done such horrible things to its citizens as to incarcerate them simply for having a visible heritage. There weren’t any internment camps for Germans or Italians during WWII, just Japanese - because “they” looked different from “us.”
George Takei is a treasure, clever, funny, worldly, sympathetic. This book should be required reading for all Americans of all ages.
