Peter H. Irons
The wartime internment of 110,000 Japanese Americans was challenged--and upheld--in four celebrated Supreme Court cases. Under the Freedom of Information Act, Peter Irons uncovered documents revealing high-level debates over the treatment of Japanese Americans, conflicts between lawyers on both sides of the cases, and closed-door arguments that split the Supreme Court--evidence that was subsequently used to reopen three of the four cases. Justice at War, Irons's account of what happened behind the scenes in the Japanese internment cases, tells this story for the first time.
