Roger Daniels begins his work by stating, “This book will describe and attempt to explain how and why nearly 120,000 Japanese Americans were taken from their homes in the spring and summer of 1942 and incarcerated in concentration camps by the United States government.”
After reading Prisoners Without Trial, write an essay that assesses how well Daniels achieved his goal. Does he successfully explain how and why the US government acted the way it did toward these citizens? Provide details from the text as evidence to support your opinion.
