Review *(Starred Review) "In this unique, richly produced volume, they showcase 170 magnificent black-and-white pictures accompanied by an exceptionally illuminating narrative to tell the staggering stories of the resilient, courageous people Lange and others so sensitively photographed.

The result is an intensely revelatory and profoundly resonant book of beauty and strength, history and caution."-- Donna Seaman, Booklist"Haunting"--Chicago Magazine"Breathtaking"--Jonathan Eig, author of Get Capone and The Birth of the Pill"Un-American, a powerful book by photo historians Richard Cahan and Michael Williams, who trawled government archives to gather the images, then employedmultiple sources, from the databases held by Japanese-American groups to the website Ancestry.com, to identify as many of the subjects aspossible by contacting survivors and their descendants." -- The Village Voice Read more About the Author Richard Cahan and Michael Williams have teamed up to produce twelve books.
