Barnhart, Edward N. and Floyd W. Matson. Japanese American Evacuation and 
     and Resettlement: Prejudice, War, and the Constitution. Berkeley, California:
     University of California Press, 1954.

This work, actually part three of a three volume set, explores the evacuation of the Japanese Americans in terms of its historical origins, political characteristics, and legal implications. It follows a six-year intensive study which sought to evaluate the treatment of the Japanese in light of American ideals and ethics. The study is of particular value to those pursuing the constitutionality of the internment.
 

Hosokawa, Bill. Nisei: The Quiet Americans. New York, NY: William Morrow and 
     Company, Inc., 1969.

Hosokawa seeks to recount the dramatic story of his fellow Japanese Americans' adversity, challenge, and eventual triumph. Covering the entire history of the Japanese in America, the work is designed to provide all Americans with a better understanding of the Issei and the Nisei and their little-known struggles. A presentation from the Japanese point of view provides a unique glimpse into the indignities of the internment and its consequences for Japanese American culture.
