Former U.S. Congressman Norman Mineta, who shares his childhood experiences at Heart Mountain Internment Camp, is the heart of this book about Japanese American internment during WWII. Warren smoothly moves from her subject's personal experiences to incorporate the larger picture of the 120,000 people interned across the U.S. Warren leaves much to ponder about our nation's past and present, about "this beautiful tapestry that is America." Reading list, websites. Bib., ind.
