American Inquisition

American Inquisition explores the often overlooked story of how U.S. government agencies during World War II judged the loyalty of Japanese Americans through administrative tribunals, resulting in the internment of thousands. The book reveals that these decisions were influenced more by bureaucratic agendas and cultural assumptions than actual allegiance, reflecting one of the most restrictive loyalty screening systems in American history. It offers a detailed examination of this marked chapter in the nation's past, providing insights relevant to ongoing discussions about security and civil rights.
