Description
"They were called aliens and enemies. But the World War II internees John Christgau writes about are shown to be ordinary people victimized by the politics of a global war. The Enemy Alien Internment Program in America was born with the United States' declaration of war on Japan, Germany, and Italy, and lasted until 1946. In all, 31,275 enemy aliens were imprisoned in camps like the one described in this book--Ft. Lincoln, just south of Bismarck, North Dakota. In animated and suspenseful prose, Christgau tells the stories of several individuals who were representative of the internee experience at Ft. Lincoln. The subjects' lives before and after capture--presented in case studies-- tell of encroaching bitterness and sorrow"--Book jacket.
