Seller's Description:
Good. American Concentration Camps 407 pages. Some soiling, foxing along page ends. From the Preface: "This book tells the story of the Japanese American wartime cases--the historic cases in which the United States Supreme Court upheld in 1943 and 1944 the military orders that forced more than 110, 000 Americans of Japanese ancestry from their West Coast homes into ten internment camps scattered from the California desert to the swamps of Arkansas...What led to the effort to reverse these three criminal convictions after forty years was the evidence uncovered during the research for this book. This documentary record reveals a legal scandal without precent in the history of America law. Never before has evidence emerged that shows a deliberate campaign to present tained records to the Supreme Court. The Justice Department files in these cases--released in response to my Freedom of Information Act request--include documents in which the government's own lawyers charged their superiors with 'suppression of evidence' and with presenting to the Supreme Court a key military report that contained 'lies' and 'intentional falsehoods. ' My research also uncovered military files that disclose the alteration and destruction by War Department officials of crucial evidence in these cases. Rather than expose to the Court the contradictions between this evidence and claims made by Justice Department lawyers, military officials literally consigned the offending documents to a bonfire.."
