Un-American: The Incarceration of Japanese Americans During World War II by Richard Cahan

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


An exquisite work about a dismal period in American history. Authors Cahan and Michaels sift through 7,000 black and white photographs in the National Archives that document the incarceration of Japanese-Americans during World War II, then set out to identify and interview survivors. It is a powerful, beautiful, and moving work, and more pertinent today than ever. I had the pleasure of speaking with Richard Cahan at the 2017 Tucson Festival of Books and his commitment to this project was inspiring. Highly recommended for those interested photography, history, military history, civil rights, and high quality fine art books.
