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
