The Train to Crystal City by Jan Jarboe Russell, 393 pages

This was an utterly fascinating read about a section of American history that I knew next to nothing about. The government put Japanese-Americans into internment camps, but we also swept up their American-born children and wives, and we also interned German-Americans and some Italian-Americans. Then we traded these people to the Japanese and Germans for Americans that had been caught up in WWII. We sent teenagers that had been born and grew up in America to countries that they didn't speak the language and were considered outsiders. I was completely horrified and ashamed of our government's behavior during this time.
