Infamy: The Shocking Story of the Japanese American Internment in World War II by Richard Reeves

In the wake of Pearl Harbor, fear and prejudice consumed the United States, leading to one of the darkest chapters in American history. Richard Reeves chronicles how more than 120,000 Japanese Americans—two-thirds of them citizens—were uprooted from their homes and imprisoned in internment camps. Drawing on personal letters, government documents, and firsthand accounts, he exposes the political decisions and moral failures that made this injustice possible. Infamy reveals the anguish of families torn apart, the courage of those who resisted, and the long struggle to restore dignity and freedom to an entire community.
