A consumer review

Your book arrived in the aftn mail.  I knocked-out the first three chapters this eve...(before the rack-monster go me).  Seems to me that you have done a masterful job in putting a 'face' on this bit of American History...that seems to have gotten lost in the shuffle of the major head-lines of the day.  I particularly appreciate the mini-bios and time-lines of the players involved....and the narratives flow well.  We were just kids when all of this stuff went down.  Wrt the internment camps, etc, I seem to recall my Mother saying...'Boys, this is just not right'...or words to that effect.  While we don't have many of German heritage in our area, we do have loads of Italians...and prejudice often prevailed back then...but none of it was inculcated or tolerated at home.  Well, Steve, you can deduce that I'm hooked on your book...and hope to finish it before college football grabs center stage again this week-end. Thanks again,  Jim
